When booking freight, one large wholesale manufacturer had a standard routine: email three or four brokers and negotiate pricing on lanes via email, hoping they were getting the best price and disruptions didn\u2019t occur along the way. The onerous practice had become policy; it\u2019s just the way it was done.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Freightro created its shipper transportation management system to break manufacturers and other shippers out of this broken booking cycle.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

With the Freightro STMS, the manufacturer was able to quickly:\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u2705 Gather real-time rates from myriad providers<\/span><\/p>\n

\u2705 Negotiate pricing quickly using the in-app chat<\/span><\/p>\n

\u2705 Track costs over time and tap into other analytics<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The manufacturer now books 120 loads per month on the end-to-end freight management platform. After booking, he can <\/span>manage the entire shipment process, including freight audit and pay, through the STMS.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u201cI can book a load in two minutes versus going back and forth with brokers for about 10-20 minutes. It saves me half the day. \u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Freightro STMS drives down shipping costs<\/h2>\n

 <\/p>\n

Using Freightro, the company is paying around 20-30 cents less per lane, \u201cwhich is saving us a bunch of money.\u201d Initially, the company used three of their own brokers in the Freightro system, but soon found they were getting charged exorbitant rates.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u201cThey were overcharging us anywhere between $100 all the way up to $1,000,\u201d he said. \u201cWe explained to them, we\u2019re going to go with the lowest bid, and now they\u2019re bidding correctly.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Freightro also enables the manufacturer to cultivate relationships with new carriers and stay in constant contact with providers during each shipment. Getting started is also a snap: no long integration process, no tedious training.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s not hard at all to use,\u201d he said. \u201cWhen I started using Freightro, I just fell in love with it.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n
