Did you know?

CarrierStore can build a customized program just for your business. We will listen to your needs, analyze your current freight flows, evaluate inefficient areas, and create a personalized software system to work for you.

Outsourced

Logistics is a complicated process. The ever-shifting dynamics of loads, capacity, weight, routes, and carrier coordination require a detailed database and the expertise to run it. Buying your own software can be a huge hassle: not only can the price tag run to the millions, but the time you spend running updates, removing bugs, fixing crashes, and replacing outdated applications diverts your attention from expanding your business and lowering your bottom line.

CarrierStore can solve this problem for you: simply outsource your transportation management needs to our experienced and knowledgeable staff. By outsourcing your shipping requirements, you, the client, will have access to a powerful, versatile and value added TMS at no cost. CarrierStore’s unique business model allows the option for either the client or carrier to pay the associated management fees. Unlike other logistic providers, we leverage our direct relationships with our carriers to serve as a virtual extension of their sales force. Subsequently, we are able to negotiate a fee structure in which they pay us a minimal fee for presenting load opportunities to them. However, you the client always retain the right to choose which option best suits your needs.

But the CarrierStore difference does not end here - our clients have around-the-clock access to our team of transportation professionals, expert consultants who understand your business and know how to streamline your shipping processes. After a thorough analysis of your transportation requirements, our staff will build you a customized plan to optimize and maximize your profit margin. Not only does CarrierStore provide you complete visibility, we offer audit oversight throughout the entire shipping process, from purchase order to invoicing. Our continual attention eliminates the confusion and headache associated with exception management. Whether you are a shipper or carrier, CarrierStore can help you.

Subscription

CarrierStore built efficiency and adaptability into its xChange software platform and offers it to growing businesses through subscription. As your organization expands, having the right technology at the right price is imperative. Our leasing option is an ideal fit for shippers who are looking to develop and grow their book of business.

CarrierStore's Software as a Service (SaaS) application is built on the platform by Salesforce, the leader in cloud technology. In choosing CarrierStore's xChange application, you can easily integrate your ERP systems via EDI, XML, or flat files. Additionally, because xChange is housed on Salesforce.com’s shared computing platform, you avoid the costs associated with the purchase, installation, configuration, and ongoing maintenance of an on-premises data center.

CarrierStore's staff of transportation professionals will thoroughly evaluate your current business, assess your needs and offer the most competitive solution on the market. Utilizing our TMS allows you to efficiently manage your own transportation process. Our fee structure is customizable based on your organization specific needs.

Invoice Management

Route Optimization xChange affords complete pre-payment audit and freight payment capabilities to ensure fiscal oversight throughout the shipping process. Our technology utilizes EDI (210) to validate carrier invoices, ensuring that all shipments are audited. All invoice details are captured within the xChange system and are available to the client via views and customized reports and EDI/XML integration. This process ensures that you don’t overpay for services rendered: your transactions are closely monitored to quickly identify and resolve exception management actions. The costs incurred from weight discrepancies, changes in freight classification, or other issues are verified and authorized prior to invoice generation. To streamline the process, each client has the ability to approve audited carrier invoices via their xChange portal, a process which results in greater transparency, fewer problems, and more solid client-carrier relationships.

Intermodal

With tighter capacity in the trucking industry, CarrierStore stands ready to assist you with our intermodal services. Efficient freight transport can be achieved by maximizing the efficiency of different modes of transportation.

Rail companies continue to invest capital to improve current assets and infrastructure. Additionally, technological advancements have greatly improved rail service times to offer a viable and economical alternative means to combat tighter trucking capacity.

CarrierStore’s team of transportation professionals will analyze your current business practices and offer solutions that streamline your processes, optimize return on investment, and maximize profits. xChange Software as a Service (SaaS) can seamlessly integrate rail and trucking to best execute your shipments.
