Live demo preview: Empowering brokers with C4

Everyone wants to have the best rates; it’s one of the main competitive advantages businesses can have in any given market. Being informed about the current market and knowing what rates are being paid after all is said and done is crucial. It’s difficult, though, to get legitimate and reliable data about payments. 

A major attraction of FreightWaves’ The Future of Supply Chain live event in Northwest Arkansas on May 9-10 will be the seven-minute live demos. Here’s a preview of one of those demos.

There is a finite amount of time in the day. Spending a good chunk of it making endless calls to carriers about picking up loads can quickly become the bane of a broker’s existence. It raises a question: If there were contracted lanes, would pre-booking those shipments save time down the road? Well the answer to that question can be found in C4.
