Carrier Logistics Inc. (CLI), veteran providers of freight management software for Less-Than-Truckload (LTL) fleets, today reported that a growing number of LTL carriers, including NJ-based PavXpress, have adopted its FACTS™ transportation and freight management system in 2020, supporting a trend that fleets are investing in critical technologies that improve operations.
“Clearly these are uncertain and unprecedented times,” said Ben Wiesen, president of CLI. “But we are pleased to note that many carriers are using this as an opportunity to augment or upgrade their technology. To us, this reflects how transportation companies recognize that an investment in software pays dividends, even during the pandemic-driven shutdown that impacted freight volumes.”
PavXpress Inc. is one of these companies. “We got very positive recommendations about CLI from other carriers, and they have been very responsive and proactive as we’ve implemented their FACTS system,” said Christian Pavlik, manager of PavXpress. “More importantly, FACTS was the right choice because it is the only system we found that is designed to meet the specific needs of LTL operations.
“While we’ve successfully managed our operation and growth on paper for many years, we realized that the right transportation management software could make us more productive,” Pavlik continued. “FACTS simplifies our freight and transportation management processes and eliminates a lot of extra steps, lightening the load on our staff and improving efficiency across our entire operation. From order entry to billing, the system frees up our internal resources and provides access to information for everyone, which leads to a huge improvement in customer service.”
With plans to go live across its entire operation next month, PavXpress has been deploying and testing FACTS, including working with two of its major carrier partners to use the system’s EDI integration capabilities. The company will be enabling the FACTS pricing and rating module so customers can request quotes and receive rates online, as well as the system’s shipment entry and route planning tools, and its financial suite.
Pav Xpress, a New Jersey-based, family-owned carrier, operates with +35 power units and has over 36,000-sq ft of warehouse space between both of their facilities. The company provides LTL distribution services for shippers and truckload carriers within 100 miles of New York City and Phiadelphia.
The Carrier Logistics FACTS™ transportation and freight management system can be deployed across a network as a single database to manage all administrative and operations functions. FACTS includes a complete financial suite, and the FACTS Deal Management pricing and rating module, which provides LTL freight operations with the ability to properly price and rate shipments.
