3 Benefits of Freight Management Technology

The right technology and systems can help manufacturing, retail, and distribution professionals improve business practices, from automating processes to improving customer service.

Technology from logistics experts like Broussard Logistics unites your departments and arms them with critical information.

Consider these benefits of applying freight management technology to your supply chain:

?

1. Gain complete visibility of your entire logistics process and eliminate silos. Access critical information in real-time, no matter where you are.

With greater visibility across departments, you automate processes and eliminate the need for manual re-entry of shipping data, reducing problems due to human error.

?

2. Spread the wealth of good relationships beyond one department. Help all departments benefit from reasonable arrangements negotiated with carriers and vendors.

Broussard Logistics’ Rate Shopper allows your organization to choose the best carrier for each shipment from an easy-to-read, cloud-based system.

The shipping data is displayed with the lowest cost first and its associated delivery time.

This valuable information allows your teams to extend competitive shipping prices to end customers and get more done faster.

You cut costs across the board if all departments have access to the shipping rate and availability information.

?

3. Reduce freights costs based on real-time data that pinpoints where your freight costs are rising and how they could be lower.

Wherever your greatest pain point is within the freight management cycle, Broussard Logistics’ technology can collect data and increase efficiencies at any step of the process.

A byproduct of all these benefits is overall cost savings that you can apply to the bottom line.

It’s time for Directors of Logistics to take a step back and look at the big picture, not just the processes happening within individual departments.

Broussard Logistics’ knowledge and buying leverage can help move your business forward.
