Roadrunner Freight announces free Transportation Management System (TMS)
Roadrunner Freight (LTL) now offers RapidShip, enabling Less-than-Truckload (LTL) customers to automate manual shipping processes
Roadrunner Freight, a business unit of Roadrunner Transportation Systems, Inc. ("Roadrunner" or the "company") (NYSE: RRTS), has partnered with MyCarrierTMS to offer customers a free transportation management system (TMS) called RapidShip. Roadrunner Freight customers using RapidShip can automate manual shipping processes and store documents.
RapidShip is available through direct API integration. The TMS offers a single-page view for quotes, real-time tracking information, carrier consolidation and a calendar view of upcoming and current shipments.
Roadrunner says the TMS is designed to be a central platform for all shipping activities for small and medium-sized LTL shippers.
"We are excited to offer technology that will increase transparency for customers while streamlining their supply chain. RapidShip enables small-to-mid sized LTL shippers to automate their transportation functions and gain more control over their transportation spend," said Frank Hurst, President of Roadrunner Freight. "Customers are able to make routing decisions for all of their carriers, while having access to a full suite of tools that will improve shipment visibility."
"The MyCarrierTMS team is proud to work with Roadrunner Freight and we look forward to the value that will be delivered to Roadrunner and their clients through RapidShip TMS," said Michael Bookout, Chief Executive Officer of Integrated Transportation Management.
"RapidShip gives Roadrunner Freight customers a holistic view into their shipping operations," adds Hurst. "Customers will be able to securely manage all of their carriers in one place and have access to enhanced reporting and data that would not be available otherwise."
