Third-party load board integrations are fueling increased operational efficiencies in the logistics industry.
The adoption of load boards for freight matching has steadily increased over the years, with logistics companies accelerating their digital initiatives. With numerous load boards to choose from, shippers and 3PLs are challenged with the multiple technology integrations necessary to ensure total freight visibility and systematic management of the load lifecycle. EDI and API integrations into Transportation Management Systems (TMS) require dedicated technology interventions to ensure seamless freight management.
In this whitepaper, we take you through detailed aspects of the freight lifecycle, starting with the basics of contract and spot pricing and the importance of load boards to streamlining freight matching. We also explain EDI and API integrations, with a special focus on various API integration use cases in load board digitalization. Finally, we discuss the utilization of an experienced technology partner who can facilitate complex TMS integrations to provide 360-degree visibility into truckload freight management, enabling logistics companies to drive increased business value and profitability.
