Smarter LTL Quotes, Stronger Margins: How Shiplify Turns Complexity into Competitive Advantage
Quoting less-than-truckload (LTL) shipments accurately shouldn’t feel like navigating a maze. Yet, for many shippers and 3PLs, creating quotes that account for accessorials, location details, and service needs is time-consuming, error-prone, and, when done wrong, expensive.
The Cost of Inaccurate Quoting
Missed accessorials, incomplete location data, hidden fees – these are just a few of the reasons inaccurate quotes can erode your profit margins, strain customer relationships, and leave your team constantly playing catch-up. Without a systematic, data-driven approach, quoting becomes reactive and resource-heavy, slowing down your business while introducing unnecessary risks.
Traditional quoting processes are slow, inconsistent, and prone to human error. With Shiplify, the process is fast, scalable, and automated, backed by AI algorithms that tap into billions of verified location data points.
By simplifying how you capture and apply complex location attributes, automated quoting reduces the need for back-and-forth validations, enhances quote transparency, and supports smarter decision-making.
That’s where Shiplify comes in.
The Smarter Way to Quote
Shiplify’s intelligent platform is built to help shippers and carriers enhance quoting accuracy. At its core, Shiplify simplifies complex LTL quotes by automating accessorial identification, leveraging real-time geospatial intelligence, and integrating seamlessly into your existing workflows.
With Shiplify, your team gains:
- Accessorial identification with 99.5% accuracy, powered by billions of data points to improve your quoting
- Real-time delivery location intelligence, including access to dock availability, liftgate needs, residential zones, and more
- Automated accessorial detection, eliminating missed fees and billing disputes
- Easy API integration with your TMS or existing quoting systems
The result? Quotes that are faster, more accurate, and better positioned to win deals and protect your margins.
Uncover Hidden Fees Before They Hit
Accessorial fees can be a silent killer in the quoting process. When missed, they lead to chargebacks, straining customer relationships. Shiplify’s API ensures that hidden LIM, RES, and Liftgate accessorials are identified and included before the shipment leaves the warehouse.
From limited access delivery points to liftgate requirements, Shiplify identifies key details that could impact cost. By pulling critical delivery location data into your quoting workflow, you eliminate surprises and preserve your profit.
Your customers expect clarity and consistency. When quotes align with invoices, you reduce disputes and improve satisfaction. When quotes are inflated with unnecessary buffers to cover unknowns, you lose deals.
With Shiplify:
- Reduce revenue leakage by capturing billable elements upfront
- Improve customer confidence with clear, consistent, and fair pricing
- Win more business by delivering competitive, precision-driven quotes
- Strengthen carrier relationships with transparency into shipment needs
