A Rating and Bidding tool for Shippers and 3PL

Minimize Shipping Cost for Shippers and 3PL with Fredi.

Today, over-the-road transportation accounts for almost 20% of supply chain costs. To control (and ideally reduce) these costs,Shippers have employed a variety of methods: Load Consolidation,improved routing, lower inventory turns and so forth.

Savvy transportation managers know that the major savings unquestionably lie in the area of conducting an effective Rate Solicitation, Evaluation and Negotiation campaign. Gathering Rate quotes from a large number of truckload and LTL carriers and then evaluating their effectiveness on your lanes is by far the best way to obtain the mix of price and service levels that are optimal for your needs.Until now, the main obstacle to employing this idealized strategy has been gathering and evaluating enough quotes to gain the most advantage. It is time-consuming and cumbersome to solicit bids from a large group of carriers. And with the wide variety of LTL tariffs and truckload rate formats, evaluating which ones are best for you is virtually impossible.

iConnect is proud to present FREDi , the most comprehensive rate gathering and comparison toolon the market today. The FREDi system enables shippers to harness the power of the Internet to quickly and easily solicit and receive bids from a large number and variety of LTL and truckload carriers.
