Much has been written over the past several months regarding the global supply chain and worldwide economic challenges during the post Covid era. The severity of these challenges is debatable but the necessity for new business efficiencies continues to grow.

With respect to shipping and transportation, digital service providers are becoming an increasingly important element of the global and domestic supply chain. By utilizing online rating, booking, and tracking providers shippers can save time and money.

ExFreight offers online access to instant freight quotes, booking, and map-based tracking for an array of shipment modes. This includes an immediate ltl freight quote, lcl shipment quote, air freight shipping quote, and fcl instant freight quote.

What does this mean for your business? For starters, the complete waste of time going back and forth with transportation vendors for a shipping rate quote is over. In addition, we all know that most logistics providers within the realm of international shipping never present more than one or two transit options. Sound familiar? You send your freight forwarder a rate quote request, wait one to three days for a door to door rate, and receive one transit option. This kind of lazy and antiquated rate sourcing method further exacerbates supply chain issues. Moreover, it hurts the customer by failing to identify and offer the best solution options.

Let’s talk about specific transportation modes starting with air freight shipping. Air freight is obviously the fastest way to ship international. However, as mentioned above, most freight forwarders offer limited options for every rate request. In contrast, ExFreight offers door to door and door to port service to and from 150 countries with multiple carriers per quote. We provide the transit time reliability, carbon emissions, along with both standard and express service options. Last, our system is connected to many of the air carriers cargo booking systems. These dynamic rates and service options also show flight details based upon space availability.

Another huge benefit of the ExFreight platform lies with our lcl shipment functionality. After the shipper provides a few basic cargo details, an instant door to door freight quote is provided. This includes pickup, international ocean freight, customs clearance at destination, and final delivery. Our system even provides a duty calculator and insurance quote during the booking process.

Last, ExFreight offers the most easy and intuitive ltl freight quote, booking, and tracking functionality within the market. In addition to density based pricing, which eliminates costly re classification, several other valuable elements are provided. This includes a carrier reliability estimate, insurance option, and multiple carriers per shipment to choose from.

Overall, no other logistics transportation provider offers the realm or scope of options that every ExFreight customer enjoys. If you are interested in improving your supply chain, ExFreight stands by ready to assist.
