Tax Airfreight joins the growing number of air freight forwarders deploying CLI FACTS

Carrier Logistics Inc. (CLI), veteran providers of freight management software for Less-Than-Truckload (LTL) fleets, today announced that Tax Airfreight, Inc. has joined the growing number of air freight carriers adopting its FACTS solution. Since replacing its custom legacy system with the CLI software, the carrier has realized operational and management efficiencies and enhanced customer service.

“Since we implemented CLI FACTS six months ago we’ve been able to reduce cycle time for loading trucks by up to four hours per day at our terminals,” said Brandon Pearson, CEO at
Tax Airfreight. “Operationally, FACTS is working very well for us. We’re processing freight volumes faster, which means drivers can start and finish daily routes earlier and that improves their job satisfaction. We’re also realizing improved customer service by having better visibility into load status.

“Internally, our administrative personnel are finding FACTS easy to use and can manage business processes more efficiently because they have access to more accurate data and customer information,” Pearson added. “When we realized we had outgrown our homegrown system, we looked at several solutions. CLI stood out over all the others because of their reputation in the industry, and the positive feedback we received from shippers.”

In addition to the initial software deployment, Tax Airfreight will be deploying FACTS modules and integrations. Included are routing software, the CLI Dock Management System, a freight dimensioner to facilitate accurate shipment size and weight data, and costing and imaging solutions.

“We’re very pleased that Tax Airfreight is realizing immediate efficiencies with FACTS,” said Ben Wiesen, president of CLI. “As the software that is driving their business, our solution is perfectly positioned to quickly help them streamline processes and meet their customers’ transportation needs. Going forward, we’re looking forward to their expanded use of FACTS.”

Tax Airfreight, founded in 1977 and headquartered in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, is a privately owned, asset-based transportation and logistics company. The carrier provides LTL freight services from seven terminals throughout Wisconsin, Minnesota, Iowa and Illinois, and a wide network of carrier partners.
