Logistics BusinessDescartes ShipRush Now Offers Full LTL Freight Support

Descartes Systems Group says that its ShipRush™ cloud-based ecommerce shipping solution now fully supports both parcel and less-than-truckload (LTL) freight to provide companies with a single platform to meet their shipping requirements. Descartes ShipRush makes it easier for customers to evaluate parcel and LTL options to make better shipping decisions for their requirements.

According to the company, the benefits of adding LTL freight to Descartes ShipRush include:
• Parcel and LTL freight in one solution – offers an extensive list of national and regional LTL freight carriers and the ability to access both parcel and LTL services in one solution.
• Side-by-side carrier rate shopping for LTL freight – simplifies the process of sorting through the many carrier options and factors to determine cost-effective LTL shipment alternatives.
• Substantial savings on bulk shipments and large items – helps to determine when and how to use LTL, which can result in up to 50 percent in shipping savings versus parcel. Parcel shippers that occasionally need to ship a bulk order or an item that is too big or expensive for parcel now have an easy way to compare options.
• Automate best practices – standardizes and streamlines shipping decisions to help ensure the correct procedures are followed, cost-effective options are selected and the time to make shipping decisions is reduced.
• LTL freight capabilities access the same rich Descartes ShipRush functionality – connects ecommerce companies to over 80 marketplaces, Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) systems and accounting solutions. Download and manage orders, rate shop, print shipping labels and keep accounting current with one solution.
