The cloud-based global rate management solution and confidential network provider CargoSphere said this week that Steam Logistics has implemented its system and achieved a 20-percent quote conversion rate.
Steam provides ocean and air freight transportation services, forwarding, and customs house brokerage, and is an affiliate of Access America Transport, a third-party logistics provider.
“As a new member of the NCBFAASA (The National Customs Brokers & Forwarders Association of America-Shipper’s Association, Inc.), Steam moved quickly to implement CargoSphere’s rate management and networking solution to receive confidential rates directly from us,” said Debbie Crowe, manager of member services, NCBFAASA, Inc. “We are delighted Steam Logistics is using the CargoSphere Rate Mesh, our network of choice, and benefiting from our longstanding relationship and excellent reputation with the carrier community.”
Steve Smith, vice president, customs brokerage, Steam Logistics, said the company is “already seeing high value from using CargoSphere. Each month, we increase the number of professional, branded quotes sent out, and as we do, we’re seeing a greater return on our investment using CargoSphere. I am especially pleased with the professionalism of these quotes and their interactive capability, which streamlines communication and processing.”
