This collaboration unites two industry leaders to assist U.S. shippers in gaining access to more carrier capacity, digitizing LTL shipping processes, and maintaining control over costs. Through this integration, QAD's customers will gain the capability to access contract pricing and transit time information from multiple LTL carriers while efficiently scheduling shipment pickups through digital means. With a simple click, customers can ensure they are utilizing the most current information for real-time shipment rating.

This simplifies LTL shipping, offers a significant increase in carrier capacity, and ensures that the most optimal transportation mode is always used to streamline shipping operations and increase logistics ROI."
