FreightWise
Delivering Comprehensive Solutions for Modern Logistics

Logistics departments often need assistance with strategic carrier selection, pricing analysis and transportation execution. Beyond strategic aid, they also require support with basic operations like managing pickups, tendering, printing labels and documents, and overseeing the shipping process. While standalone Transportation Management Systems (TMS) cater to these needs, integrating the TMS with managed services offers a more customized and comprehensive solution.

This is where FreightWise steps in to assist clients with its unique blend of technology and managed services. As a specialized provider in transportation and logistics management, its cost management program, combined with advanced transportation execution technology, benefits clients with efficiency, effectiveness, and cost savings.

"Many small-to-medium businesses often need assistance when it comes to carrier relationships and automating manual processes. We integrate our services with TMS implementation and bring these critical elements together, which ensures our clients' success," says Gregg Lanyard, Vice President, Product Management at FreightWise.

The mobile-friendly TMS is designed to modernize supply chain management by supporting multimodal planning, execution, visibility, analytics, and freight payment. It handles a variety of modes, automates carrier connections to eliminate manual interactions, and optimizes rate and carrier selection to enhance efficiency and accuracy.

The TMS also enhances spend visibility and decision-support by bringing critical data to the forefront, allowing for better operational decisions to be made. Centralizing operations into one system, along with providing comprehensive spend visibility through detailed reports and analyses, ensures accurate matches and optimal carrier selection through a comparison of quoted and invoiced prices. This approach maximizes the value that many companies miss when they use a TMS solely for rate quoting.

By enabling customers to understand historical trends, monitor current spending decisions, and forecast future transportation costs, it further drives more informed decision-making and better governance. For instance, a client in the automotive industry saved a significant amount by selecting the least cost carriers more effectively for each route and correcting previous invoicing mistakes through the TMS.

Another client in the chemical sector improved their overall productivity by using the app’s multiple system features of route optimization, hazardous materials management and automated carrier communication through the carrier portal. They also integrated the TMS with their ERP system to eliminate the need for manual order entry and enhance operational efficiency.

The technology is also supplemented with a freight audit and pay feature, which is available as both a self-service model and an outsourced managed service option for customers seeking additional support.

Kuebix broadens the FreightWise portfolio by offering a stand-alone, self-service TMS, with expanded feature function. When FreightWise acquired Kuebix last November, it made a commitment to investing in the TMS platform and its customers. FreightWise has already delivered on that promise by improving performance and modernizing the TMS infrastructure to support further enhancements. The combination of investments along with FreightWise’s hallmark services position the company for long-term success.

As a trusted partner for businesses seeking comprehensive and customized transportation and logistics support, FreightWise is committed to delivering maximum efficiency and is well-positioned to serve its clients in modern supply chain management.
