Trax Technologies, the global leader in Transportation Spend Management (TSM) solutions, and Truckstop.com, one of the industry’s largest freight marketplaces, announced a partnership to help shippers, brokers and carriers work smarter together. This partnership will decrease time to onboard carriers with shippers and provides the opportunity to enhance rate and payment data, granting visibility into rate management and selection, shipper-carrier on-time payment and financial and data flow insights.
Truckstop.com ensures compliance and onboarding technology by lane, carrier and region, while Trax keeps carriers and shippers informed through end-to-end visibility and next-generation transportation spend management technology and service solutions.
“We are absolutely thrilled with this new partnership with Truckstop.com, a key leader of carrier marketplace data and enablement,” said Josh Bouk, president and chief revenue officer, Trax. “Trax continues to transform the decades-old freight audit industry into global transportation spend management, delivering greater network resiliency, total cost optimization and improved sustainability via digitization and harmonization of broad sets of logistics data. This partnership accelerates those goals while simultaneously enabling more accurate and rapid deployments of logistics control tower strategies for enterprise shippers and carriers alike.”
“Visibility into rate selection is vital and making on-time payments and having working capital are essential to maintaining good business relationships,” said Chris Cassidy, executive vice president of global sales & strategic partnerships, Trax. “A goal of this partnership is to create value for shippers and carriers with joint solutions that improve carrier onboarding and rate management selection effectiveness by accessing real-time truckload market rate data.
