Shiplify Integration with Freight Management Software Enhances LTL Shipping Accuracy for Brokers
TL;DR
Shiplify's integration with FMS gives brokers a competitive edge by eliminating unexpected costs and enabling more accurate, profitable LTL quotes.
The integration embeds Shiplify's location intelligence directly into FMS's LTL Plus platform to automatically identify accessorial requirements and rerates shipments in real time.
This partnership creates more transparent shipping operations by eliminating billing disputes and delivering smoother experiences for both brokers and their shippers.
Shiplify's technology automatically flags special delivery requirements like residential drop-offs and liftgates that often surprise freight brokers with unexpected charges.
Shiplify has launched a strategic integration with Freight Management Software (FMS), bringing advanced less-than-truckload shipping intelligence directly to freight brokers and third-party logistics providers within the FMS platform. The collaboration, introduced through shared partner Compass Logistics, leverages Shiplify's location intelligence and accessorial mapping technology to provide unprecedented visibility into shipment requirements before booking occurs.
The integration embeds Shiplify directly within FMS's LTL Plus platform, enabling brokers to instantly identify critical factors that impact pricing and service levels, including residential deliveries and limited-access locations. North Winship, President of Shiplify, emphasized that accurate location data enables users to make smarter, faster and more accurate LTL decisions, extending Shiplify's capabilities directly within the tools brokers and 3PLs use daily.
Freight brokers frequently encounter unexpected charges for additional services such as liftgates, inside deliveries or residential drop-offs that often go unidentified during the quoting process. With this integration, Shiplify automatically flags accessorial needs in real time, rerates shipments when necessary and provides carrier-specific costs instantly. This automation helps brokers quote with confidence, avoid billing disputes and deliver smoother experiences to shippers while protecting profit margins.
For mutual customers like Compass Logistics, which manages hundreds of LTL shipments monthly, the integration represents significant operational advantages. Previously, brokers relied on manual lookups and disconnected workflows to identify accessorial requirements. Now, with Shiplify fully embedded in FMS, users can book faster, price smarter and operate with complete confidence knowing their quotes are accurate, competitive and transparent.
Henry Sheldon, President & CEO of Freight Management Software, noted the immediate value in partnering with Shiplify, stating that their brokers and 3PL customers are seeking tools that provide competitive advantages. The integration helps users quote confidently, manage costs proactively and deliver better results for their shippers. The technology is now live and available for all FMS customers using the LTL Plus platform, with current users able to enable Shiplify's accessorial intelligence through their TMS admin settings.
