Kommentare: People is what makes a great company. FreightPOP has a great product, but the over all experience was wonderful thanks to people like [sensitive content hidden] They have helped us improve our logistics department leaps and bounds.

Vorteile:

What I love about FreightPOP is it makes the complex simple. Members of our logistics department can do very difficult shipments, with the correct paperwork at a great transportation cost in a matter of moments. Shipments like that took me a very long time to learn and build up to, now my team members do that their 2nd week on the job, thanks to FreightPOP.

Nachteile:

Great TMS for any business

5,0 letztes Jahr

Kommentare: FreightPop has supported my one person department, and has already brought our LTL pricing down. The onboarding specialist (Garrett) was incredible. He has been patient, kind, and helpful regarding any issue that arose. The other support specialists (Sal and Ben) have also worked diligently to get us up and running. The customer service has also been wonderful with any other technical issues that have popped up. I am excited to see how FreightPop can further improve our business.

Vorteile:

There are so many features I like about FreightPop. The tracking option was the main reason I started looking for a TMS system. Our company typically ships 400 flat bed/truck load shipments a month, and with over 100 carriers, that becomes a daunting task to follow up with each individual load. In addition, the quoting feature is incredibly helpful, especially with our variety of LTL shipments. The last feature that we are just now becoming familiar with is the invoice auditing feature. This was also one of the critical areas our company was looking for assistance with, and it has already delivered on its part of the investment.

Nachteile:

The hardest thing for me personally was trying to upload negotiated freight rates myself. We have a few carriers with contract rates, or with pallet pricing, and they missed the initial upload time frame. I received help uploading them, and I will probably continue to need that assistance. However, the support to do that is fantastic.

A Game Changer for LTL Freight Shippers

4,0 vor 4 Jahren

Kommentare: FreightPOP has helped us to reduce workload and reduce shipping costs while improving scalability and visibility. Through nearly two years of service, we have seen constant development and improvement, and support is very responsive. We have even seen feature requests turn into live features just a few weeks later.

Vorteile:

FreightPOP reduced our freight quoting workload from two entries (quote on a 3PL, and quote on our best direct carrier), to just one. One quote/ship platform with a shared history (of quotes and shipments), and which allowed us to add additional carrier and 3PL accounts into the bidding competition, with no additional per-quote overhead.

Nachteile:

Every now and then there are a few quirks. Most often these are remedied by telling the user to log out of the portal, and log back in.

Thanks for your review, Casey! We're so glad to hear you're enjoying your experience with FreightPOP. Unfortunately, carrier integrations require both parties to upkeep the technology behind it that makes it work properly, and if the carrier experiences technical issues, that will temporarily affect the integration. We value your feedback and look forward to bringing more awesome tech to your business via FreightPOP!

FP Pros & Needs for improvement

4,0 vor 4 Jahren

Kommentare: It's been a love hate experience but the FP development team strives extremely hard to perfect their solution. A few more fixes/enhancements and nothing in the marketplace will be able to contend.

Vorteile:

Carrier integration is simple. Rate Shopping works great. FreightPop support is amazing. Cloud based is a nice advantage. Parcel & LTL options.

Nachteile:

Address entry is extremely clunky. Address validation should be automatic and display an icon on the main shipping screen for a quick glance, and it should also have an icon that differentiates the address between commercial and residential. A reset/clear button on the ship screen would be useful. Google address suggestions should be able to be turned off or have a USPS database via api. There are limited User/Roll permission settings, you can block a user from a carrier completely, but not specific services, i.e. Next Day Air AM.
