What is Trimble Engage Lane?
Carriers and shippers are uncovering new collaborative strategies for freight transportation. In the current environment, it is crucial to utilize Trimble Transportation's Connected Supply Chain. Our latest solution simplifies the often complex contract freight procurement process. Engage Lane acts as a vibrant transportation procurement platform that enables carriers and shippers to collaboratively discover improved strategies for moving freight. This cutting-edge software allows for the completion of agreements in mere days rather than the usual months typically required. By registering as an Engage Lane carrier, you can immediately access freight leads that link you directly to shippers within your operational zones or areas where you wish to expand. Moreover, Engage Lane assists shippers in overcoming issues related to dwindling capacity, significantly reducing or eliminating fees, and conserving invaluable time. The EDI setup is a straightforward one-time procedure, ensuring seamless connectivity among all participants on the platform. Shippers have the ability to define their lanes, while carriers can specify their routes, and Engage Lane efficiently aligns them based on various criteria including equipment type, insurance coverage, CSA scores, distance, and specific requirements established by the shipper. This efficient approach not only improves the operational effectiveness of freight movement but also fosters stronger partnerships between carriers and shippers throughout the supply chain. Ultimately, this collaborative framework promises to revolutionize the way freight is transported, benefitting all stakeholders involved.
