Here is why business software is considered the backbone of the Freight Broker’s Industry
Freight brokers are accountable for the cargo they convey. As a result, they must guarantee that they have access to all relevant information in real-time. To make their lives easier, the IT sector has created a variety of systems and software to meet their ever-changing business needs.
Here is the list of software or systems used by ALG to provide top-notch freight broking services to its clients.
Aljex
By automating manual tasks related to business operations, one can increase the efficiency of the business and increase load/shipment volume. To support this idea the market is filled with transport management systems. Therefore, it is crucial to choose the best system that checks most of the boxes of our business requirements.
At ALG, we use Descartes Aljex software to automate and improve freight brokerage operations which has features like a secure payment portal for quick and seamless transactions and cloud-based software to maximize data protection.
Truck Stop Diamond Broker
The process of selecting carriers as per the client’s individual requirements could be cumbersome. To help our client, we have our very own Diamond Broker Program.
Our Diamond Broker Program delivers a proven marketing and advertising advantage on the Truckstop.com Load Board and eases the broker selection process for carriers. We are proud to hold a Diamond Broker Bond designation, which delivers valuable assurance to carriers regarding credit, performance history and quality.
Power DAT
This is one of the most powerful software that aids the client to review relevant results in real-time from trucking’s super-database to viewing multiple searches at once.
By using the DAT Freight & Analytics Power database, we are able to access the largest truckload freight marketplace in North America. With 887,000 loads posted every business day, our customers can search loads in real-time, with accurate spot market rates.
SaferWatch
Getting notifications about the carrier transporting your commodities is the service most of our clients are looking for. To cater to our client’s needs we make use of SaferWatch.
SaferWatch allows your company to customize a list of carrier data changes they want to be notified about called Alerts. Once a client is brought on board we set up the system so that the designated individuals receive mail Alerts. Through this software, you can register as many individuals from your company as you want and all of them will receive Alerts.
At ALG, we use SaferWatch which allows us to customize a list of carrier data changes that the client wants to be notified about through email.
