Solving a Costly Problem

One of the most common problems 3PLs, freight brokers and shippers encounter is quote and invoice discrepancy. These are often caused by unforeseen delivery charges, called accessorial fees, such as limited access, residential delivery, or liftgate fees. These surprises not only damage customer trust but also cut into already thin margins.

Translogistics, Inc. (TLI), the top-rated 3PL on Google, has partnered with Shiplify, the leader in accessorial fee identification for LTL shipments, to tackle this challenge head-on. Their collaboration improves the accuracy of freight quotes and simplifies accessorial selection within TLI’s ViewPoint TMS.

Eliminating Quote vs. Invoice Discrepancies

TLI’s integration with Shiplify helps shippers in their network identify potential accessorial fees with 99.5% accuracy before quotes are finalized. By leveraging Shiplify’s geospatial data and AI-driven insights, shippers can see critical site details upfront, such as dock access, forklift availability, or residential delivery requirements.

This proactive approach significantly reduces unexpected charges and ensures billing transparency.

“We understand how important it is for shippers to have accurate quotes right from the start, and how frustrating surprise LTL accessorials can be at invoicing. That’s why we’ve partnered with Shiplify to make quoting easier and more transparent,” said Ashley Rubendall, Director of Client Operations, TLI. “This integration provides more precise quotes, helping ViewPoint TMS enable smarter, faster and confident shipping.”

Protecting Margins in a Volatile Market

Carriers continue to adjust rate structures, shippers face volatility in demand and brokers must deliver fast, competitive pricing to stay ahead. Adding to that pressure are time-consuming manual site lookups, incomplete shipment details, and unexpected accessorial charges, which can turn profitable loads into losses.

This integration changes that equation by putting precise location intelligence at the center of every quote. With Shiplify active inside ViewPoint TMS, shippers gain:

  • Location-Based Accessorials Accounted for Upfront: Quotes reflect real delivery conditions, before freight ever moves.
  • Carrier-Specific Accuracy in Real Time: Shiplify’s data integrates directly into TLI’s carrier network, ensuring quotes align with each carrier’s specific rules and requirements.
  • Confidence that Builds Trust: Customers see clear, consistent pricing that prevents the “surprise invoice” issue. This builds long-term trust and helps maintain customer loyalty.
  • Competitive Positioning in a Crowded Market: When quotes are more accurate and inclusive, shippers can offer sharper pricing without the fear of eroding margins later.

It’s a quoting process that’s not only faster, but also smarter, more reliable and better aligned with how freight actually moves in the real world.

Redefining Freight Transparency 

This partnership between Shiplify and TLI demonstrates how advanced technology and a customer-first mindset can reshape freight management. By eliminating surprises, protecting margins and strengthening trust, both companies are setting a new standard for LTL shipping.

As TLI continues to deliver results-driven logistics solutions and Shiplify refines accessorial fee identification, shippers can expect smarter, more accurate and more transparent freight management for years to come.
