SmartFreight monitors freight moves from manufacturers, distributors and warehouses to Webgistix fulfillment centers located in the United States, Europe, and Asia with plans to open a U.K. facility in 2012.
The platform is a combination of available technology and consulting services built on Webgistix’s existing SmartFill order-fulfillment platform. SmartFreight services include carrier selection, freight scheduling, customs management, and shipment tracking.
SmartFreight can produce a step-by-step freight plan customized for each retailer. The plan covers freight management and movement from a variety of angles and can be adjusted if companies use its built-in carrier negotiation tools to adjust rates. The service also includes an ocean transportation intermediary that allows Webgistix customers to work directly with shipping lines.
