rollouts
Great rates: Transite Technology, a provider of transportation management solutions,
has launched a service known as My Freight Rates. This new service aggregates the
best rates from numerous 3PLs and enables brokers and shippers to easily access
these rates for real-time shipments.
When brokers or shippers need a price, they can access My Freight Rates to determine the lowest per-shipment charges offered by participating 3PLs. Transite developed new “AggreRater” technology to mine all the 3PL data in real time to identify the
lowest-priced services. (Transite Technology, www.transite.com)
