  • Quoting – Proper rate and contract management technology ensure freight rates are always up to date and accurate. Now, there is no need to fill books with confusing calculations.
  • Rates – An online platform ensures your rates are correct and frequently updated for clients to see. It enables consistency and confidence as your entire company is working on the same rate information.
  • Accessibility – Online platforms, even mobile apps, make easy work of accessibility of rates and service factors by anyone in the organization anywhere around the globe.
  • Time – Having an online platform that keeps your rates updated and that reflects all the latest surcharges and fees will save you and your company a huge amount of time.
  • Quote Faster – Implementing technology with the ability to quickly quote complex shipments is the key to winning more bids while protecting profit margins and growing revenue.
  • Routing – It will be much easier to identify transit time, free time, and sailing schedules with technology – it enables forwarders to determine the optimal routing.
  • Information – A platform that displays the information (such as delays and downtimes) assists in distributing it to clients and members – putting everyone in the picture.
  • Other tools – Administrative tasks (like tariff filing and responding) can be automated using technology and will improve business.
