The platform provides vital tools for quoting, booking, and tracking LTL shipments, as well as managing invoicing efficiently. The Shipment Board feature keeps users updated with real-time notifications regarding their loads, ensuring they remain informed at all times. Users can easily print documents as they are uploaded, share important updates with their teams, and receive alerts about the specific shipments they are monitoring. Additionally, EchoShip allows users to save frequently used shipping information, such as items and locations. Users can select carriers based on their preferences, including considerations of transit time, cost, and insurance options. The functionality to monitor important shipments by adding them to a watch list significantly improves oversight capabilities, while having access to all load documents in one place simplifies the management process. Furthermore, it supports tracking shipment statuses and managing invoice payments efficiently for LTL, truckload, and partial truckload shipments, establishing it as a robust solution for all shipping requirements.
