But, you don’t have another choice; you still need to move those goods in one or two days. You’re forced to spend hours researching online and making phone calls to carriers, keeping your fingers crossed that one of them can move your shipment in your specific lane.
What would it be like if that expedited option was always there in front of you?
It would make booking expedited LTL shipments painless and fast. It would allow you to always have a lifeline to move freight quickly when unexpected situations come up. And, those expedited options open up the door for potential savings while getting your freight to its destination quicker.
Luckily for shippers, this is a reality.
Estes Forwarding Worldwide (EFW), an international and domestic freight forwarder and logistics provider, is connecting shippers and the ability to expedite their freight in a much simpler way than before through its new expedited service offering, an API (application programming interface)-driven product called “Get It There Faster,” which launched at the beginning of the new year.
Just as the name suggests, Get It There Faster helps shippers quickly source and move LTL ground and air freight, instantly bringing expedited rates to their screens.
Expedited options are always at shippers’ fingertips with Get It There Faster, which offers accelerated shipping rates for any service level and displays transit times as quick as one-, two- or three-day delivery alongside the standard options. Because the tool is powered by its API, shippers don’t need to navigate away from their TMS platforms to book these shipments.
“If you’re a platform provider, or you’re a 3PL, you want your customer to automatically press a button and have that [expedited] option. That’s only good for your customer,” said Michael Campese, SVP of sales and marketing at EFW, during an interview on WHAT THE TRUCK!?!
Because with Get It There Faster shippers inherently see choices they might not have even known they needed or were possible, it could change the game for their business. For example, if a shipper expects it to take four or five days to move freight, choosing the readily available options to move the same shipment in one or two days could actually help them save money in the long run.
