How a Designer Furniture Brand is Offering Better Shipping to Customers

Featured Image

Today's customer spotlight is on a high-end furniture brand designing for online catalogs and IKEA home & storage systems. Learn how they secured a better logistics system through FreightPOP! 

Before coming to FreightPOP, this customer was swamped with launching new products and SKUs and desperately needed streamlined shipping to make things easier for their customers and internal teams. They also needed a more reliable way to attach costs to orders by quickly securing carrier shipping rates while adding their markup of 15%.  

Customers Challenges:


Primarily, the customer struggled with:

  • Gathering accurate shipping quotes for their clients purchasing from retail and vendor websites 
  • Automating the rate shopping process - They spent too much time visiting carrier websites for freight quoting and tracking.
  • Building repeatable and scalable shipping processes that could handle their growth 


How FreightPOP met the customer's needs:
