EDI for Logistics Providers
Bitfreighter is changing who can affordably sign up and use EDI that in the past would have found it either too expensive or inaccessible. There are two options to use Bitfreighter EDI. Our EDI VAN (value added network), is our integrations as a service platform, allowing your TMS and your customer TMS to be completely integrated. Our second option is using our LoadAccept user interface, to accept all of your loads without integrating with your TMS provider. Load accept is a great option for logistics providers with TMS or dispatch software that does not allow for EDI integrations. EDI integrations have become a very necessary expense in order to scale your Logistics or Trucking company and a barrier to entry to work with some of our nation’s largest shippers.
EDI for logistics providers needs to focus on three core problems:
quick setup
low annual cost
most important - no character charges
Bitfreighter solves these problems by providing a flat annual low-cost structure with unlimited messages. For a logistics provider to scale they must be able to accept and decline loads and not be held to a per character charge. For 3PLS or freight brokers that are tendered high volume loads with potential low acceptance, it is imperative in order to scale your load tender volumes, you cannot be held to a per tender cost. EDI is an extremely integral part of a logistics provider’s business and it has to be scalable without running up a large monthly billable cost. Logistics providers need an EDI partner that understands their business from a logistics standpoint just as much as from a technology standpoint in order to help streamline inefficiencies in data loss and mapping.
Bitfreighter’s executive team is comprised of industry-leading logistics executives and data integrations software experts to provide EDI or logistics technology solutions. Our logistics EDI network has led us to connect to all of the leading TMS providers.
