SmartFreightWare

SmartFreightWare was developed as a proprietary TMS to support a 3PL starting in 2001. In 2006, SmartFreightWare was spun off as a technology company offering web-based TMS solutions to 3PLs, shippers, forwarders and carriers. Through practical experience and in-depth knowledge of 3PL operations, SmartFreightWare has developed rich, robust and flexible cloud-based transportation management software capable of managing the full life cycle of shipments.

SmartFreightWare prides itself on its fluid and intuitive user interfaces. 3PLs, shippers, forwarders and carriers need to focus on their core business and not learning how to use and configure the software. SmartFreightWare will provide turn-key solutions specific to your needs, including integrating into proprietary systems. SmartFreightWare is staffed with industry veterans with in-depth knowledge of technology and logistics. Combining practical real-world experience with a robust and easy interface sets us apart from our competitors.

The SmartFreightWare rate engine is the most robust in the industry and can manage any type of carrier contract. The rate engine supports to-the-penny rating across all modes compiling base rates, accessorial rates, customized fuel surcharges and combination rates. Coupled with SmartFreightWare API capabilities, the TMS can manage any rating scenario and audit function.

The TMS is organized into three major portals.

• Admin Portal: 3PLs and Forwarders use this portal to its customers shipping activity. They can emulate a client for quoting, booking, planning, tracking, managing and reporting as well as track key customer service metrics and milestones. 3PLs and Forwarders can pro-actively monitor shipment status, record activities, pro-actively alert clients, plan multi-stop, pool distribution or cross dock activities. Robust audit tools are available for billing exceptions and electronic interfaces available to customers and carriers. 3PLs and Forwarders use the rate engine to manage all contracts by account and can engage clients seamlessly and in a customized fashion. The Admin Portal provides all the tools a 3PL needs to manage their business, including agent management.
• Customer Portal: Shippers want the ability to obtain accurate rates, book shipments, tender to carriers, track and report at their leisure. This simple yet powerful portal allows shippers to manage their shipping process when and how they want. These tools can easily be incorporated into a shipper’s ERP, order management, WMS or other system. It was designed to optimize planning while avoiding time-consuming phone calls.
• Carrier Portal: For carriers who do not have EDI or web service capabilities, the carrier portal is an excellent vehicle to engage carriers for shipment tender, tracking and invoice approval.
