Our History
For many years companies manufacturers, distributers, 3PL's and 4PL's have struggled
with a fundamental inefficiency in the organization. The ability to quickly and
accurately obtain freight quotes from multiple carriers simultaneously.
After struggling with this problem for many years, an industry veteran decided that
it was time to find a solution that would allow him and his staff to effectively
manage this process. His company had the need to process freight quotes for up to
700 outbound LTL shipments per day. He also had a team of people processing quotes
for this 3rd Party business which topped another 200 shipments a day.
The solution to all this was to work with a team of engineers and over a 2 year
period developed the product now known as accufRATE. The technology created by his
vision and team of developers now allows him to process hundreds of quotes per minute
direct from the carriers. Billing errors are quickly and easily averted as the system
always provides a carrier quote number for reference purposes which has never been
available from any other system. Seamless integrated to his WMS system allows for
all freight quotes to be processed automatically. His third party business now requires
little attention from internal staff as a web interface is provided to all customer
in order for them to quote, generate a BOL, automatically dispatch and track their
order. In essence the online system has become a TMS system in and of itself.
These advancements have allowed this company to repurpose their staff to be revenue
generating instead of being a cost center. The billing efficiencies have provided
cost savings in the hundreds of thousands of dollar per year. The 3rd Party business
has been able to grow to 4 times what it was and is scalable to any level now without
the need to hire additional support staff.
accufRATE was launched to the public in July of 2010 and is quickly becoming the
standard for managing the freight process. The simplicity of its interface allows
for any size company to take advantage of it in a very short time. The power of
the product provides immediate revenue recognition to the bottom line!
