Trucking and freight forwarders need simple, automated systems to stay competitive and financially viable. Providing freight visibility that integrates with client systems improves internal process efficiency, resulting in higher profit margins.
EDI eliminates routine high volume communications automating, for example, a dispatcher from having to manually key information into the dispatch operational and billing system. Replacing printing and mailing an invoice with DI automation, companies not only reduce costly billing but expedite their payment cycle.
Transportation companies who are EDI compliant can communicate seamlessly and electronically with all parties in the supply chain process. Effective Data can help get you to achieve these goals!
