Make Transportation a Profitability Center
Boost Profitability by
Eliminating Cost
No matter if shipment demand is up or down, logistics leaders are under constant pressure to remove costs from their budgets regardless of circumstances. Using the right transportation management tools not only helps better plan and manage the shipment lifecycle, but can uncover areas of savings:
- Cut transportation spend with rate intelligence and digital freight networks so that you never overpay for shipping.
- Reduce costly errors with automated freight payment and auditing capabilities, keeping more monies on your balance sheet.
- Recover lost revenue with centralized and digitized freight claims management.
- Avoid detention and demurrage with visibility to containerized freight location and accurate forecasting for labor needs upon shipment arrivals.
- Lower labor costs by automating manual, time-consuming tasks for your skilled, high-performing employees.
- Shrink fuel costs with optimization across every mode while reducing unnecessary miles.

Pivot Your Business,
Grow Profitability
Usually, disruption is thought of in negative terms. But disruption can also reveal where opportunity may lie ahead. As the global pandemic unfolded, the consumer pivot toward e-commerce delivery reached critical mass – creating disruption, but also opportunity.
When Sprouts Farmers Market saw dramatic changes in consumer grocery buying habits at the outset of the pandemic, it used the MercuryGate TMS multimodal optimization capabilities to identify solutions. Parameters such as longer store delivery windows and shifting distribution center operations were put in place to meet changing consumer demands.
Better Service For Value and Profitability
Despite recent digitalization that has taken place, the freight industry is still very relationship driven. And solid relationships with customers, carriers, drivers and consumers are all built on quality service. Rather than replacing these relationships, our goal at MercuryGate is to help you use technology to strengthen them with added value:
- Improved final mile delivery experiences that reduce cost and bolster brand reputation
- Combined visibility and shipment execution to meet expectations for transparency and service
- Enhanced collaboration and information sharing across technologies and stakeholders
- Sustainably focused transportation that reduces costs and meets customer requirements.
