Shiplify Integration with Freight Management Software Brings Enhanced LTL Shipping Intelligence to Brokers
Shiplify's integration with Freight Management Software provides freight brokers and 3PLs with automated accessorial identification technology that eliminates unexpected shipping costs and improves pricing accuracy.
The strategic integration between Shiplify and Freight Management Software brings advanced location intelligence and accessorial mapping technology directly to freight brokers and third-party logistics providers through the FMS platform. This collaboration, introduced through shared partner Compass Logistics, embeds Shiplify's capabilities within FMS's LTL Plus platform to provide real-time visibility into shipment requirements before booking occurs.
North Winship, President of Shiplify, emphasized that accurate location data enables users to make smarter, faster and more accurate LTL decisions. The integration extends Shiplify's capabilities directly to brokers and 3PLs within the tools they already use daily, automating accessorial identification and eliminating unexpected costs that frequently impact profit margins.
Freight brokers commonly face unexpected charges when shipments require additional services such as liftgates, inside deliveries or residential drop-offs, costs that often go unidentified during the quoting process. With this new integration, Shiplify automatically flags accessorial needs in real time, rerates shipments when necessary and provides carrier-specific costs instantly. This functionality helps brokers quote with confidence, avoid billing disputes and deliver smoother experiences to shippers.
For mutual customers like Compass Logistics, which manages hundreds of LTL shipments monthly, the integration represents a significant operational advantage. Previously, brokers relied on manual lookups and disconnected workflows to identify accessorial requirements. Now, with Shiplify fully embedded in FMS, users can book faster, price smarter and operate with complete confidence knowing their quotes are accurate, competitive and transparent.
Henry Sheldon, President & CEO of Freight Management Software, noted the immediate value in partnering with Shiplify, stating that their brokers and 3PL customers are seeking tools that provide competitive advantages. The integration helps users quote confidently, manage costs proactively and deliver better results for their shippers while protecting their margins.
The integration is currently live and available for all FMS customers using the LTL Plus platform. Current users can enable Shiplify's accessorial intelligence through their TMS admin settings.
