Outsourcing Freight Management with Freight SideKick

Why Outsource Freight Management?

Outsourcing freight management provides shippers with significant advantages, allowing businesses to focus on what they do best while experts handle the complexities of logistics. Let's explore the key benefits:

1. Cost Efficiency

Managing freight in-house can be resource-intensive. By outsourcing to FreightSideKick, businesses can:

• Leverage established carrier networks to negotiate better rates: FreightSideKick’s extensive network of carriers provides shippers access to competitive rates that might be difficult to achieve independently. This collective buying power translates to substantial cost savings while ensuring reliable service levels.
• Reduce operational overhead by outsourcing tasks: Freight management involves a host of time-consuming tasks, including sourcing-capacity, scheduling, dispatch, delay mitigation, tracking, invoicing, and performance measuring. By outsourcing these to FreightSideKick, businesses can save on training costs, reduce HR burdens, and eliminate the need for specialized logistics personnel, freeing up internal resources for other priorities.
• Optimize route planning and load consolidation to lower fuel and labor costs: Advanced technology and data-driven strategies allow FreightSideKick to optimize routes, reduce empty miles, and consolidate loads effectively. This not only cuts fuel consumption and associated costs but also minimizes wear and tear on vehicles and reduces driver hours, leading to better resource utilization.

2. Access to Expertise

3. Cutting-Edge Technology and Artificial Intelligence

4. Scalability and Flexibility
