Hi all, excited to get to know the freight industry! I am wanting to enter it in the coming months from tech and automation. Would greatly appreciate if people can share how orders are currently processed, and whether it is mainly through EDI or if it is manual retype. While researching, I got some conflicting answers. Now I just want to absorb all the knowledge I can, so would love to connect one-on-one with anyone who feels like sharing industry knowledge.

Hey everyone! I’m excited to be here and connect with like-minded individuals. I’m currently involved in dropshipping and looking to learn, grow, and scale my business to the next level. Looking forward to sharing and learning with you all.

Hey everyone, just joined the group, hope i can learn from everyone here! I come from more of an IT background, and I’ve been thinking about how I could maybe use that to simplify the processes. One idea that crossed my mind was setting up a system to automatically track shipment statuses and send updates to customers, just to cut down on all the manual checking and emailing. Not sure if that’s something that would really matter day-to-day or if there are bigger priorities I’m missing. Wanted to see if anyone had some ideas for things I could build that will save lots of time and pain down the road. Trying to front load the thinking and automating now before things are scaling up and there won’t be time for this. Thanks for having me!

Hello Freight Group friends! Happy New Year! 🍾 I wish everyone a rich '25, regardless of what the freight god's throw our way! 😇 Quick (amateur) question: at our brokerage, we want to steadily move away from the transactional brokerage (heavy spot-market) business, into a true transportation management brokerage where (for example) we have an agreement with our customer to manage their broker relationships, RFPs(if applicable), the customer book their own freight, etc. for a contracted rate. For those currently involved in this side of supply chain and freight: 1. What software are you using to help customers manage their supply chain? Not a typical broker TMS, rather a true supply chain or managed freight, software. Perhaps that the customer books their own freight once you've set it up for them with their product catalog and specs. of their freight. 2. Are you considered a reseller or 'white-label' of that software? If so, what's your experience been like? 3. Are you using that same software to manage RFPs for your customer? If so, are you able to broker loads to yourself and then do you significantly lower (or zero-out) your margin because you've already set up an agreement for the management of? Any feedback or discussion, truly appreciated! Cheers!
