Carrier Logistics delivers smarter rating capabilities for Ward Transport & Logistics

Carrier Logistics Inc. (CLI), veteran providers of freight management software for Less-Than-Truckload (LTL) fleets, today announced that Ward Transport & Logistics Corp. has successfully integrated their existing TMS with the FACTS Rate Engine.

"Accurate rating is mission critical for LTL carriers,” said Mike Zupon, vice president of technology at Ward Transport & Logistics. “CLI's rating module has enabled us to handle more rate requests efficiently, helping us secure shipments that might otherwise have gone elsewhere. By implementing their solution, we're ensuring that our management platform remains reliable and scalable, future-proofing this essential capability, and ultimately improving our customers' experience.”

Ward Transport & Logistics implemented the Carrier Logistics FACTS Rate Engine to enhance its TMS platform with CLI’s robust rating capabilities. Rating is now performed automatically by the carrier's TMS calling CLI's rating API.

“The flexibility, functionality and adaptability we’ve built into FACTS made it a natural fit for meeting the rating needs at Ward Transport & Logistics,” said Ben Wiesen, president of Carrier Logistics. “We’re proud that we’re helping enhance their competitive edge and allowing Ward to continue to deliver the exceptional service their clients are used to."
