Lanetix Announces LxRoadFreight - The First CRM Suite Built to Increase Gross Margin for the Domestic Freight Market
Built by the leading logistics CRM provider, LxRoadFreight gives mid-sized trucking and freight brokerages an out-of-the-box software solution to manage spot quote and contracted opportunities, increase utilization, and streamline carrier relationships, thus improving operating margin and boosting profitability.
San Francisco, CA, July 24, 2018 --(PR.com)-- Lanetix today announced LxRoadFreight: the first CRM suite exclusively developed for the domestic freight market, including asset-owning trucking firms and freight brokerages. The comprehensive and affordable out-of-the-box software suite brings Global 2000 CRM to growing transportation companies.
Domestic freight brokers are facing a highly competitive market to balance shipper demands with carrier capacity, while juggling the predictability of long-term contracted rates with the traditionally more profitable spot market. Similarly, asset-owning trucking carriers seek to increase utilization, prioritize and win the most profitable RFP’s, and retain drivers while holding shippers accountable to committed volumes.
Brian Everett, President of the Transportation Marketing and Sales Association (TMSA), a trade group representing thousands of commercial leaders in the domestic freight market, states, “Too often, trucking firms have had to make choices when it came to evaluating software. Do we focus on automating the spot market or contracted rates? Do we use technology to manage our shipper accounts or prioritize the carriers? How can we apply our customer retention strategy to driver retention? Lanetix solves for the complexity of the industry with a beautiful user interface that feels more like Instagram than a CRM.”
Introducing LxRoadFreight
Until today’s announcement, the domestic freight market has had two options: hire an expensive consultant to customize one-size-fits-all CRMs or rely on a mix of individual productivity tool such as spreadsheets and email. With LxRoadFreight trucking companies and freight brokerage firms with as few as five employees can take advantage of the same powerful, cloud-based CRM software as market-leading multinationals:
- Increase Gross Margin with CRM: Transportation-industry specific CRM functionality including shipper accounts, carrier accounts, trucks, drivers, dispatchers, O-D pairs, RFP’s, SLAs, best-in-class operational processes for a shippers’ first 90 days, damage awareness workflows, exception management, driver retention and carrier on-boarding, QBRs and off-boarding.
- Track and Forecast Volume, Revenue and Profitability: Data analytics and rich out-of-the-box reports to track and forecast volumes, revenue, margin with embedded NMFTA class codes.
- Win the Most Profitable RFPs: Robust automations help qualify RFPs based on risk, winnability and fit; recommend relevant topics and location-based heat maps.
- Streamline Carrier Relationships: Carrier Relationship Management to nurture relationships with dispatchers, on-board carriers and streamline the carrier QBR process.
- Leverage Mobile App to Manage Exceptions: Mobile app to log incidents in the truck and on the dock to reduce exceptions, accelerate the claims process, and improve profitability while increasing in-the-field sales productivity.
- Lower Your Total Cost of Ownership: Out-of-the-box functionality with workflow processes exclusively for the transportation industry come without expensive data storage fees, API governor limits, or customization from outside third-party consultants or overburdened IT staff.
“In North America alone, there are over 117,000 trucking carriers and freight brokers that have struggled with using CRM’s built for discrete manufacturers, not domestic freight service providers,” explained John Golob, President of Lanetix. “LxRoadFreight is built for their business and can be used immediately with a swipe of a credit card, without hiring expensive consultants or involving IT.”
Lanetix also announced a partnership with 3Gtms, the fastest growing Tier 1 TMS provider. “We are delighted to welcome Lanetix into our partner program,” said Chuck Fuerst, Vice President of Marketing for 3Gtms. “Our partnership with Lanetix will bring the best of cloud-based innovation together to streamline front-office processes with operational back-office visibility and automation.”
Finally, Eyefortransport Limited (EFT) recognizes today’s product announcement as a breakthrough innovation. “LxRoadFreight is a game changer for the domestic freight market, which has often been underserved by modern software providers. Lanetix has delivered a simple solution for a multitude of today’s complex CRM challenges, so we are pleased to recognize Lanetix for what it is: a true Logistics CRM Innovator,” explained Louise Gunstone, MD of EFT, the global leader in business intelligence and C-level networking for the transport, logistics and supply chain industry.
