Response from Mitch Rabe of Freightview

Thank you for the great review! While we do not currently reflect air rates via DHL, this should be an option for FedEx. Please let us know if you're not seeing these as an option (913-353-6188, support@freightview.com) and we'll take a look asap!

(Original )Information
What do you like best about Freightview?

Site works great and is easy to use. It is super efficient for us to have all of our freight contracts connected so we can easily run quotes with all the carriers we partner with and create the BOL all in one place. Tracking shipments and reconciling billing is much easier as well. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Freightview?

One nice feature would be the ability to create a BOL template for un-supported carriers not integrated with an API if needed. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Freightview:

We looked at many different freight booking platforms and Freightview was by far the easiest to use and had the most features. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Freightview solving and how is that benefiting you?

It has made our freight booking process much more efficient and helped to lower costs by optimizing the best carrier to use for various shipment sizes and destinations. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Mitch Rabe of Freightview

Thank you for the great review and feedback! I've passed this along, and will be sure it's discussed in our next customer feedback meeting.

What do you like best about Freightview?

I love how user-friendly it is! It saves me SO much time and energy! It's a stress-free go-to for almost every one of my shipments. Having to use other carrier's websites takes three to four times longer than Freightview. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Freightview?

I wouldn't say there's anything that I dislike. I have noticed that I'm not getting as many time-critical options in FreightView as if I book through the actual freight carrier's site. I understand that my pricing comes directly from each of my carriers in FreightView, but I wish I were getting all of the available shipment options too. Maybe there is a way that someone can address this issue soon. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Freightview:

Learning a new system is usually challenging but, Freightview is set up to be extremely user-friendly. This system is SO worth it! It's the quickest and easiest way to get affordable shipping options within a minute. They have an amazing customer service team that can assist you in any way necessary. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Freightview solving and how is that benefiting you?

I've recently discovered that you can keep track of your invoices and freight payments via the Audit tool. This has already proven extremely useful for me! I love that you can also go back and revise the details, add a note, etc.. It's definitely helping me keep up with my past invoices and view my past spending, etc.. I love this feature! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Mitch Rabe of Freightview

Hey Penny - we really appreciate the great review, and are glad to hear that it's all working well (including our auditing feature)! If there's a transit option that you should be seeing from your carrier but are not via Freightview, please let us know at support@freightview.com or 913-353-6188. We'll take a look and see if there's anything we can do. Thanks again!

What do you like best about Freightview?

Freightview is a great way to to have your FAK pricing from various freight companies loaded into one system. We can easily compare prices and make the best freight decision for our business. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Freightview?

Freightview is very strong with LTL shipment. It still has room for improvement when managing full truck spot quotes. We maintain a list of owner-operators that we contact via email through Freightview as well as a handful of freight brokers. Handling and comparing quotes takes a bit more manual effort. Full truck spot quoting isn't as seamless as the functionality for LTL.

The functionality for correctly formatting BOL's for HazMat shipments is a little clunky. It took us a little bit to figure it out as Freightview did not have the best support documentation for this function. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Freightview:

Freightview is a really good tool to help you better understand your freight and gives you leverage in data collection to negotiate with carriers. It also is a strong platform to centralize communication about shipments with your Customer Service team as they can track shipments online without having to go through your carrier rep or the shipping department. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Freightview solving and how is that benefiting you?

Freightview has a great reporting function. We use the data to gain insights into our freight shipments and work closely with our freight vendors to get better pricing based on class, dimensional characteristics and lanes. Data is king.

Freightview also is the single place to find updates on a shipment, where it is in transit, and any any information from carriers on delays. This lets allows us to give more timely updates to our customers. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Mitch Rabe of Freightview

Thank you for the great review, David! Look for more enhancements to come to our spot quoting very soon.

What do you like best about Freightview?

This has saved us so much time. We used to spend 15 minutes per LTL load comparing prices, then booking it, and doing BOL on top of it. Now it is minutes! You get all of your quotes on one screen, pick one, and then print your BOL. They book it for you too! If you need to track it, anyone can log in and get the PRO.

Almost every carrier has an API that connects ( LTL Carriers) and I have seen more and more get added over time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Freightview?

I wish I could do Truckloads. The spot quote feature is nice, but not all the carriers are responsive to it.

It seems like a small thing, but we have has a lot of turnovers the last year in the trucking/carriers and you have to manually update your POC's every time.

Not all Carriers work with Freightview in a way that you can print the Carrier BOL, at least 50% of them you have to use the Freightview version. This is overall ok, but it would be nice if they all did. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Freightview:

If you only do truckload, this will probably not help you enough. But if you do LTL this is a game-changer. On average we have 3 or 4 different carriers picking up daily, with most loads being 3-4 per pickup. Once you use it awhile, you can see what carriers you are using the most, use it to procure better freight rates, and even monitor which carriers perform best in what lanes. We literally were able to save half a person a day in paperwork. For a small company that was huge! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Freightview solving and how is that benefiting you?

We almost entirely eliminated the phone calls of "where is my order". Once you set up the customer and enter their email address, they receive the PRO# and tracking information. They can do it themselves! We used to have an "admin" that had to procure quotes, book trucks, and complete paperwork. Now the shipping/receiving dept can do it themselves. Unless it is a new customer, you are done in 2 minutes or less. If you have to add customer info, its still done in 5 minutes. We reduced our overall shipping costs by 30%. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Mitch Rabe of Freightview

Hey Angel - thank you for the great review and the feedback around our features! Look for more truckloads to come in the very near future, as well as more carriers supporting their BOL going forward. We're glad it's working well, and if anything comes up, please let us know!

What do you like best about Freightview?

Freightview provides a very simple platform for us to provide quotes to our customers via its API tool and WooCommerce plugin. It's probably the only reliable tool of its kind out there. Additionally, the customer service provided, especially on the technical side of things, has been a life-saver. We were even able to customize this tool to work for our marketplace platform! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Freightview?

Well, it was unfortunate that marketplace compatibility isn't an out-of-the-box feature for this plugin. It definitely would have saved a lot of time and energy for us. Additionally, there are some other minor bugs in the user interface for this plugin, especially on the administrator's backend in WordPress. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Freightview:

If you need it as a tool on its own, it's fantastic. If you need it as an integration into WooCommerce, consult with their technical team to see if it can meet all your requirements. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Freightview solving and how is that benefiting you?

We're solving how to generate freight quotes for customers and vendors around the world, for thousands of products of various sizes, while using our own business's freight relationships. So far, it's been a vital part of our business. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Freightview?

Freightview provides a single source of truth for all our shipments and allows us to choose the most efficient carrier easily. That saves us money and easily pays for itself many times over. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Freightview?

There's not much to dislike, but it would be nice if the software could handle batch shipments from a csv file. That feature doesn't currently exist, but perhaps it will be added to their roadmap. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Freightview:

If you want to consolidate shipping carriers, using Freightview is a no brainer. The software exceeded expectations. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Freightview solving and how is that benefiting you?

We're able to provide a single platform to train our people to use while incorporating many different shipping carriers. We no longer have to learn each individual carrier's software interface. Now, intstead of having a dedicated shipping person we're able to have multiple people ship. Additionally, we're now able to turn shipping quotes around in real time, we've eliminated the bottleneck of waiting for quotes to be returned. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Mitch Rabe of Freightview

Thank you for the great feedback and review! Batch quoting and booking is on our roadmap, and I'll be sure to bring it up again in our customer feedback meeting this week. Please let me know if there's anything else that comes to mind!

What do you like best about Freightview?

In the intricate world of logistics, the difference between success and chaos often hinges on the tools we employ. Before discovering FreightView, I felt like a juggler with too many balls in the air, constantly on the brink of dropping one. Transitioning from multiple 3PLs to this singular TMS service felt like stepping out of a storm and into a sanctuary.

For those unfamiliar with the jargon, 3PL stands for Third-Party Logistics. In the past, I relied on multiple 3PLs to manage different facets of my logistics operations. While they each had their strengths, coordinating between them was a Herculean task. Picture trying to conduct an orchestra where each musician plays by their own rules, and you'll get a sense of the cacophony I was dealing with.

Enter FreightView. From the outset, it was evident that this wasn't just another tool to add to the pile. It was a game-changer. The platform's intuitive design meant that instead of wrestling with disparate systems, I had a unified dashboard that brought everything under one roof. It was like having a bird's-eye view of my entire logistics operation, with the ability to zoom in on any detail at a moment's notice.

One of the standout features for me has been the real-time tracking. In the logistics world, information is currency. Knowing where a shipment is, understanding potential bottlenecks, and being able to communicate accurate ETAs to clients can make or break a business relationship. With FreightView, I've been able to offer my clients a level of transparency that was previously unthinkable. It's not just about tracking; it's about trust. And this platform has been instrumental in bolstering the trust my clients place in my services.

Cost optimization is another area where FreightView shines. By automating route planning and carrier selection, the system ensures that I'm always getting the best bang for my buck. Gone are the days of manual comparisons and gut-feel decisions. Now, I have data-driven insights guiding my choices, leading to tangible savings.

But what truly sets FreightView apart is its scalability. As my logistics needs have evolved, the platform has seamlessly adapted, proving that it's not just a solution for today but a partner for the future.

In conclusion, making the switch to FreightView has been nothing short of transformative. It's taken the complexity of juggling multiple 3PLs and distilled it into a streamlined, efficient, and user-friendly experience. For anyone in the logistics sector feeling overwhelmed by the demands of modern supply chain management, I cannot recommend FreightView highly enough. It's not just a tool; it's peace of mind.

What do you dislike about Freightview?

What is there to dislike? Honestly, no complaints. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I no longer have to go to multiple sites and make multiple phone calls. HUGE TIME SAVER! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
