It is an increasingly common practice for carriers to establish brokerages to serve the needs of shippers and create another revenue stream related to their core business.
“More and more, carriers are finding that their in-house transportation management systems don’t apply when they run a brokerage. The business processes and workflows are very different,” said Don Thornton, DAT Solutions senior vice-president of sales and marketing. “Carriers moving freight in this capacity benefit from a dedicated broker TMS like DAT Keypoint, which streamlines these functions, enabling them to move more loads.”
DAT Keypoint Logistics software serves freight brokerages, whether startups or mature companies shifting from existing in-house or commercial services.
