Keep all your rates in one searchable access point
Query for best rate and preferred carrier
Query fuel and other extra charges by lane and carrier
Automate your tendering process
Conduct internal audits on contracted carrier rates
As an alternative to repeated phone calls, faxes and complex spreadsheets, clients can use ARM to find the best rates within their own carrier pool. The system can be queried to return results on specific types of shipments, lanes, and modes. Use of ARM can also increase carrier compliance and savings by driving management decisions on best cost carrier selection to the shipping floor. Finally, ARM can be used to internally audit freight billing to ensure accuracy.
