Featured Image

When a pioneering print and press production supplier sought a powerful TMS solution that could easily integrate into Rootstock ERP and Oracle 11i, FreightPOP fit the bill! Find out how we helped them slash rates, centralize their shipping across departments, and vastly improve international and domestic tracking.

Customers Challenges:

Before signing up with FreightPOP, this global printer dealt with several critical challenges many high-volume shippers encounter. They were frequently in the dark about where shipments were, had a lot of manual processes, and needed a centralized way to coordinate inbounds and outbounds. 

Additionally, a core part of their business is their customer service—from project inception, planning, and completion, they pride themselves on providing highly innovative concepts, support, and minimal downtime. Tracking shipments and reducing ordering errors due to double and manual entries became vital issues.
