FreightSnap and Shiplify Announce Strategic Partnership to Bring Greater Transparency and Trust to LTL Freight

Combined solution tackles the two root causes of LTL’s long-standing trust problem, location-based accessorials and shipment reclasses/reweighs, which together drive the industry’s ~30% invoice discrepancy rate.

LENEXA, KS and ATLANTA, GA — FreightSnap, manufacturer of the FS 5000 pallet dimensioner and a leader in shipment measurement technology, and Shiplify, the freight industry’s foremost accessorial intelligence platform, today announced a strategic channel partnership built to establish something the LTL freight industry has never reliably had: genuine trust between carriers and shippers.

Trust erodes one invoice at a time. When approximately 30% of LTL shipments result in a discrepancy between the quoted charge and the final invoice, the cumulative effect is a carrier-shipper relationship defined by suspicion rather than confidence. Shippers brace for unexpected charges. 3PLs frequently absorb the cost of disputes, carriers deal with delayed payments, and all parties suffer from the administrative burden and friction created. The freight moves, but the trust does not grow. FreightSnap and Shiplify are partnering to build something better — from the ground up.

Solving the Two Root Causes of the Trust Gap

Shiplify’s platform gives carriers and shippers real-time intelligence on location-based accessorial charges including lift gate requirements, limited access designations, residential deliveries, and other location attributes that are frequently missing or incorrect at the time of quote. These gaps are among the leading causes of after-the-fact billing adjustments that leave shippers frustrated and carriers under compensated. Shiplify closes these information gaps, giving carriers and shippers a shared, accurate view of accessorial obligations at every stop before the freight even moves.

FreightSnap’s FS 5000 dimensioner delivers precise, certified dimensional data with weight and photo capture at the point of shipment. This eliminates the measurement ambiguity that drives reclasses and reweighs. When shippers have accurate shipment dimension and weight from the outset, the downstream disputes that erode trust and inflate administrative costs are largely eliminated before they begin.

Together, Shiplify and FreightSnap strive to eliminate the two primary sources of the invoice discrepancies that have made trust so difficult to sustain in LTL. For carriers, that means capturing the revenue they have earned without the friction of post-bill disputes. For shippers, it means a quote they can rely on. For 3PLs and technology platforms, it means delivering a customer and carrier experience with fewer surprises, lower administrative costs, and stronger relationships on all sides.

“The LTL industry has a trust problem. Shippers do not always believe the invoice they receive reflects what they were promised. Carriers do not always believe shippers have given them accurate information to price and cost correctly. Both sides have often been right because the data has been wrong or missing. FreightSnap and Shiplify are partnering to fix the data. When the shipment is measured correctly and the accessorials are known upfront, the invoice matches the quote. And when the invoice matches the quote, you start building something that has never fully existed in this industry: genuine trust. That is what this partnership is about, and that is what will make the LTL industry better tomorrow than it is today.”
— Scooter Sayers, VP of Business Development, FreightSnap

“Shiplify was built on the belief that transparency is the foundation of trust. When every party in a freight transaction has access to the same accurate information such as what the shipment weighs, what it measures, and what the origin and destination requires, there is nothing left to dispute. Our partnership with FreightSnap brings that level of certainty to both dimensions of the problem. Together, we are giving carriers the tools to bill with confidence and shippers the assurance that what they are quoted is what they will pay. That is how you build trust in a relationship the industry depends on.”
— North Winship, President, Shiplify
