3PL Systems and Shiplify Integration Revolutionizes LTL Freight Quoting
The strategic integration between Shiplify and 3PL Systems brings unprecedented transparency to less-than-truckload freight quoting by automatically identifying hidden accessorial fees at the point of quote.
Shiplify, the primary accessorial revenue identifier for carriers, shippers, and third-party logistics providers, has announced a strategic integration with 3PL Systems, an automated transportation management software built for unlimited broker growth. This partnership embeds Shiplify's location intelligence directly into 3PL Systems' BrokerWare platform, enabling users to identify costly accessorials during the quoting process and reducing hidden fees that commonly plague less-than-truckload shipments.
Less-than-truckload freight has long presented significant pricing challenges for the logistics industry. Residential deliveries, limited access locations, and liftgate requirements frequently go unnoticed until after shipments are booked, leading to billing disputes, eroded profit margins, and frustrated customers. The integration automatically flags and maps these critical details upfront, ensuring brokers see carrier-specific charges instantly without leaving the BrokerWare environment.
North Winship, President of Shiplify, emphasized the transformative nature of this development. By embedding Shiplify's location and accessorial insights directly into 3PL Systems, brokers using BrokerWare finally have access to delivery transparency at the point of quote. This advancement means fewer unexpected fees, faster transaction wins, and protected margins for logistics providers operating in the competitive LTL market.
For 3PL Systems, the integration reinforces the company's philosophy of delivering everything brokers need within one intuitive platform. BrokerWare already unites LTL and truckload operations across rating, dispatch, tracking and accounting functions. The addition of Shiplify's capabilities gives users an even sharper competitive edge in navigating the complexities of LTL freight pricing.
Michael Sternberg, Director of Sales at 3PL Systems, highlighted the broader industry implications of this partnership. The integration of Shiplify reinforces that ethos that everything brokers need should exist in one intuitive system. Users can now unlock more accurate quoting, fewer billing headaches, and smarter automated decisions. This development represents not just an enhancement to user experience but a fundamental shift in how LTL quoting operates within the logistics industry.
The integration is available immediately for all 3PL Systems BrokerWare customers through their platform at https://www.3plsystems.com. By removing the guesswork from LTL quoting, Shiplify and 3PL Systems are empowering brokers to win freight with confidence, protect margins, and deliver unprecedented transparency to shippers. This collaboration effectively turns what was once a significant liability in LTL operations into a strategic advantage for logistics providers competing in an increasingly complex marketplace.
