Logistics Management Information (LMI) has introduced its OnLine Rater program, a web-based transportation routing and carrier rating system. It allows a user to enter basic shipment information like ship date, origin, destination and unit of measure, as well as optional services like protective service, equipment type and shipper/consignee. It then provides a listing of all carriers based on the rates a shipper has negotiated, for the specific lane, sorted in least-cost order, and highlighting preferred carriers and transit times when they apply.
Users can access carrier rates by specific service, ensure accurate invoicing of freight costs, monitor preferred carrier non-conformance and forecast expenses or accrue costs more precisely.
