Freight Consolidation Optimization
Freight Consolidation Optimization is a CargoWise technology that combines several smaller shipments into a single, larger shipment to reduce transportation expenses. This feature enables logistics companies to cut operational costs by merging goods from multiple clients or suppliers into a single shipment, hence reducing space in containers, vehicles, or cargo holds. It ensures that transportation capacity is completely utilized, resulting in cost savings and improved supply chain management.
It examines shipment details such as size, weight, and destination to identify consolidation opportunities while accounting for regulatory and logistical constraints. Businesses can reduce transportation costs, increase delivery efficiency, and improve their entire logistics operations by maximizing freight consolidation. Furthermore, this function decreases the environmental effect of transportation by reducing the number of trips needed to deliver items, promoting more sustainable practices.
Freight consolidation optimization also helps to streamline the entire shipping process, providing real-time tracking and improved inventory control.
