Reduce Your Shipping Spend with Carrier Rate Shopping
Uncover cost savings by shopping your carrier network by service level and customer promised date.
Optimize your shipping operations with Varsity Logistics' ShipSelect, a powerful carrier rate shopping tool for selecting the best shipping options based on cost, service level, and transit time. It allows you to automatically compare multiple carriers, shipping methods and delivery times, ensuring the most cost-effective choice for every shipment.
What is Carrier Rate Shopping?
Carrier Rate Shopping automates the carrier selection process by evaluating multiple shipping options in real time. It considers key factors such as transit time, carrier preference, cost, mode, service type, and performance to determine the optimal carrier for each shipment.
By automating this process, businesses can ensure compliance with routing guides and operational requirements while consistently selecting the most cost-effective and efficient shipping option.
With Carrier Rate Shopping, companies can significantly reduce shipping costs while maintaining delivery commitments. Instead of manually comparing rates, businesses leverage shipping software that automatically analyzes multiple carriers, service levels, and transportation modes to identify the best option. This real-time automation replaces time-consuming manual tasks, streamlining operations and improving overall shipping efficiency.
