Shiplify Integration with Freight Management Software Enhances LTL Shipping Accuracy for Brokers

Shiplify announced its integration with Freight Management Software, bringing advanced location intelligence and accessorial mapping technology to the FMS LTL Plus platform. The collaboration, introduced through shared partner Compass Logistics, enables freight brokers and third-party logistics providers to instantly identify critical shipment requirements that impact pricing and service levels before booking shipments. This integration addresses the common challenge of unexpected charges for additional services that often go unidentified during the quoting process.

The technology leverages Shiplify's location intelligence to automatically flag accessorial needs in real time, including residential deliveries, limited-access locations, liftgates, and inside deliveries. By embedding this capability directly within the FMS platform that brokers already use daily, the integration eliminates manual lookups and disconnected workflows that previously characterized accessorial identification. North Winship, President of Shiplify, emphasized that accurate location data enables users to make smarter, faster and more accurate LTL decisions while helping them win more freight and protect their margins.

For mutual customers like Compass Logistics, which manages hundreds of LTL shipments monthly, the integration represents significant operational advantages. The automated system rerates shipments when necessary and provides carrier-specific costs instantly, allowing brokers to quote confidently and avoid billing disputes. Henry Sheldon, President & CEO of Freight Management Software, noted that their brokers and 3PL customers are seeking tools that provide competitive edges, and Shiplify helps them quote confidently while managing costs proactively.

The integration is currently live and available for all FMS customers using the LTL Plus platform. Current users can enable Shiplify's accessorial intelligence through their TMS admin settings or by contacting their FMS account representative. This technological advancement represents a shift toward greater automation in freight management, providing brokers with tools to deliver smoother experiences to shippers while maintaining competitive, transparent pricing.
