Description

It is not uncommon for carriers to create, email and manually manipulate thousands of spreadsheets every time they need to amend contract rates. A single GRI announcement can cause many thousands of hours of document management. With the CargoSphere solution, thousands of contracts can be updated all at once and distributed in real-time to your customers over the Rate Mesh to eliminate these costs while providing better service to your customers.

All of this passion for product development and commitment to customers has helped us to design an elegant information architecture to solve an important business problem: How can we make the management and distribution of rates more efficient? Our solution is one that’s a win-win-win for you, your customers and your partners. We’ve studied forwarders’ needs closely, listened to their pain-points, and applied our learnings in every product development cycle for 12 years.

This article takes a look at a number of the innovative technology offerings currently in the marketplace and directly aimed at the independent freight forwarder. It examines the cost-savings and efficiency gains available to early adopters, given that huge capital expenditure are no longer necessary to provide a solution that freight forwarders can tailor to meet their needs.

Once rates are in CargoSphere’s system you can distribute rates quickly and accurately to your customers via the CS Rate Mesh. CS Rate Mesh is an intertwined network of shipping partners collaborating over a cloud-based hub for rates and rate distribution. You decide which partners see which rates through a process of mutual authorization. You determine which rates you want to send. You, as the carrier, are in complete control.

CargoSphere was founded in 1999 and focused primarily on transportation intermediaries (NVOs and freight forwarders). In the years since its founding, CargoSphere has used input from thousands of users at hundreds of companies to develop world-class contract management and rate management functionality with an emphasis on elegant architecture and user friendliness.
