FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
New Cloud-Based Freight TMS Software & Marketplace Revolutionizes Transportation Industry
GRAND RAPIDS, Michigan (PRWeb) November 30, 2010 – GR8FR8, Inc., [pronounced "Great Freight"] a brand new SaaS company launched the highly-anticipated website GR8FR8.com on October 25, 2010. This robust website connects shippers to carriers directly, without intermediaries, and allows for free-market quoting, real-time communication, direct-tendering, online booking, TMS functionality, and executive level reporting. In essence, GR8FR8.com allows shippers to become their own broker, lower costs, and save time.
This cloud-based platform will allow shippers to post shipments, to have multiple carriers offer real-time, fresh quotes on them, and then allow them to tender and track the shipment without ever picking up the phone. Shippers can also direct-tender shipments to their preferred carriers to enjoy the integrated TMS functionality within the site. Unlike websites that offer instant freight quotes, "GR8FR8 doesn't use pre-loaded negotiated rates," notes VP of Operations Paul Laidler. "Often those are inflated and always include a brokerage fee," explains Laidler. What is unique about GR8FR8.com is that for a low, flat rate, shippers can get the best pricing available from Carriers who are looking for new business. Since GR8FR8.com is not an auction site, Carriers can quote higher or lower using the FR8mart application, and communicate with shippers using live, private communication. Finally, there is nearly unlimited reporting available making it superior to anything shippers are currently using to move freight, and at a fraction of the cost. For a limited time, GR8FR8.com is offering special discounts for Carriers and Shippers who join their online community.
The interface of GR8FR8.com has been in development for nearly two years by transportation professionals and software experts to build an easy-to-use, cloud-based solution for transportation partners to create an efficient market to minimize costs, improve communication, and maximize control. Companies of all sizes will benefit from cultivating new business, lowering costs, and increasing revenues in an open market. GR8FR8 is an easy-to-use management system that benefits both shippers and carriers economically. By providing an online freight solution that has been desperately needed for many years, GR8FR8 is on its way to creating a paradigm shift in the transportation industry.
