Freight claims signal something didn’t go as planned in the transportation process. Rectifying the situation can be tedious, and as a non-revenue-generating task, carrier claims cost the shipper and the carrier time and resources.
Of all the inefficiencies in the supply chain, handling carrier claims stands out as one desperate for modernization. It often relies on manual processes, spreadsheets, fragmented systems, and back-and-forth communication.
This article showcases how modern technology significantly enhances efficiency and drives savings in carrier claims management.

Key Benefits of Adopting MercuryCarrierClaims
Our Carrier Claims webinar showcases firsthand how one customer experienced a “whirlwind of efficiencies” with the MercuryCarrierClaim solution.
- Reduced manual tasks: “We’re taking a department, shrinking due to labor and non-revenue-generated activities, and reallocating those resources to other hard-to-fill positions like collections, accounts receivable, accounts payable, customer service.”
- Efficiency gains: “What really stood out and gave me the wow factor was the quick claim solution… Instead of manually filling out a claim form… they [the claimants] are already going through the process… right then and there, I know that’s where a huge saving is going to happen.”
- Cost savings: “When I first started with the company, we had roughly five people handling the claims department. Now it’s me and one other claim analyst. One and a half people who’ve gone from five. One person now in my department, which handles about 2700 to 3200 claims a year, is now able to do that solely by themselves.“
- Improved data analysis: “What I do find to be very helpful is the top 10 list… it gives us our top 10 claimants, highest claims, and then also it gives us the ability to customize the different views that we want to see on a dashboard.”
- Future benefits: “The ability to connect MercuryGate Carrier Claims to a TMS via APIs, automate the financial piece, and update notes in our TMS that are still done manually shows that there are still a lot of efficiency gains to be made in the future.”
MercuryGate’s carrier claims solution addresses the core challenges and must-haves of efficiency, integration, and optimization by providing a scalable, secure, and efficient solution.
