DirectSHIP


DirectSHIP is an eShipping Exchange exclusive program designed to offer International Service Providers such as Freight Forwarders a solution for managing domestic pickup and delivery of their clients’ international freight.

 



The domestic leg of international shipments is a critical but underserviced part of each shipment moved through U.S. ports. Freight Forwarders typically go to great lengths to procure capacity for these shipments, and oftentimes incur significant expenses in the process. Whether working with a 3PL or booking directly with carriers, Freight Forwarders face several challenges; the freight it is difficult to properly classify, rates can fluctuate significantly, tracking programs may not exist, and invoicing errors are common.

DirectSHIP provides Freight Forwarders a carrier-direct solution, complete with technology that allows for accurate rating, booking, tracking, and invoicing. Because the solution is provided direct from a network of carriers, Freight Forwarders see immediate impact within their business with lower costs, rate integrity, and customer support tailored to the unique needs of a first and last mile service.
