Produce Movers: New Software that can Revolutionize your Business!
There is a new player in the produce transportation industry and their software, Real Time Freight™, is nothing short of innovative and very impressive. Real Time Freight Services, LLC, based out of Chicago and Evanston, Illinois, has been working long and hard on producing a brand new powerful software interface that connects shipping and distributing companies directly to their preferred and pre-approved trucking companies and carriers. Real Time Freight Services, LLC sets up private and secure ‘real time’ networks in which shipping and distributing companies disseminate load information only to their carriers, at an incredibly nominal price. The Real Time Freight software provides transportation synergy to shipping companies, and dramatically improves internal and external communication channels. The software is simple to use, extremely appealing to the eye, and a ‘hands-off’ setup for the customer.
The advantages for shipping and distributing companies, as well as the carriers, are numerous. Shipping and distributing companies will be able to reach their entire carrier base in one simple click. The antiquated ways of calling from a truck list, faxing and emailing with outdated information, are now gone. Not only does it save valuable time searching for trucks, but it also gives these companies more time to move more loads, and perform business activities that will help them grow and profit. On the other hand, carriers will benefit from this ‘realtime’ information as well. They now know exactly what their customers are looking for, saving them time in calling, and eliminating much haggling. This gives them the opportunity of selling their truck to the right person.
The Real Time Freight software also acts as an internal load board for shipping and distributing companies. All associates in all offices, whether central or satellite, can use the same software platform and see on one screen: all loads, all load details and statuses, and all of the appropriate contact information. The load board can be filtered by any criteria, and printed for easy referencing.
Real Time Freight Services also facilitates in the collaboration of bringing good companies together. Companies that have real time networks get exposure on Real Time Freight’s website, and carriers can research them and apply to join their network. Shipping and distributing companies can increase their carrier base, and carriers can enhance their customer base.
The software is currently tailored for the produce industry, however, newer versions will soon be made available, and companies that move almost anything will find a reason to use this extremely powerful software.
