Flexible Modeling
Differentiate your organization through the platform that provides a logical and efficient way to model multi-enterprises within the domains of third-party logistics providers (3PLs), brokers, carriers, freight forwarders, and shippers. All roles, configurations, rule sets, references, processes, and code tables inherit down through your enterprise hierarchy and are available for future use to save time and resources.

Market Rate Index

Access buy and sell rate information for all major modes, including truckload (TL), less-than-truckload (LTL), intermodal, parcel, ocean, air, and rail. The MercuryGate rate index tool contains a vast amount of rate data compared to other indices. In addition to showing all major modes, it also includes rates extended directly by carriers and by 3PLs, brokers, carriers, freight forwarders, and shippers.

Automated, Prioritized Exception Management

Better manage risk through alerts for both explicit exceptional events and probable exceptions, based on the absence of shipment and load updates within a required timeframe. Prioritize resources and proactively prevent costly errors before they happen. Gain more data to use in contract negotiations as well.

Broad Capacity Sourcing

Source capacity from contracts, the spot market, rate indexes, historical data queries, predictive analytics, a private fleet, or a specific carrier’s fleet. More capacity amounts to better freight rate management and lowers total freight spend.

Dynamic Workflows
Automate any resolutions to the system-generated exceptions in a manner that scales easily and executes accurately. Determine your own unique process steps in a simple and consistent user interface, while also allowing the solution to manage the complexity of the freight movements. This is exception automation on steroids, leveraging ongoing user-made changes to continuously adapt existing rule sets.
