3PL Systems and Shiplify Integration Brings Transparency to LTL Quoting

Shiplify, the primary accessorial revenue identifier for carriers, shippers, and third-party logistics providers, has announced a strategic integration with 3PL Systems, an automated transportation management software built for unlimited broker growth. The partnership embeds Shiplify's location intelligence directly into 3PL Systems' BrokerWare platform, enabling users to identify costly accessorials at the point of quote and reducing hidden fees that plague less-than-truckload shipments.

Less-than-truckload freight is notoriously difficult to price accurately. Residential deliveries, limited access locations and liftgate requirements often go unnoticed until after a shipment is booked, leading to billing disputes, eroded margins and frustrated customers. With this integration, Shiplify's intelligence automatically flags and maps these details upfront, ensuring that brokers see carrier-specific charges instantly. North Winship, President of Shiplify, emphasized the significance of this development, stating that embedding Shiplify's location and accessorial insights directly into 3PL Systems gives brokers using BrokerWare access to delivery transparency at the point of quote.

For 3PL Systems, the integration reinforces a philosophy of delivering everything brokers need within one intuitive platform. BrokerWare already unites LTL and truckload operations across rating, dispatch, tracking and accounting. Now, it gives users an even sharper competitive edge in the LTL market. Michael Sternberg, Director of Sales at 3PL Systems, explained that the integration of Shiplify reinforces the company's ethos that everything brokers need should exist in one intuitive system. Users can now unlock more accurate quoting, fewer billing headaches and smarter, automated decisions.

The integration is available immediately for all 3PL Systems BrokerWare customers. By removing the guesswork from LTL quoting, Shiplify and 3PL Systems are empowering brokers to win freight with confidence, protect margins and deliver transparency to shippers, turning what was once a liability into a strategic advantage. This collaboration represents a significant step forward in addressing long-standing challenges in the logistics industry, particularly in the complex realm of less-than-truckload shipping where unexpected fees have traditionally undermined profitability and customer satisfaction.
