At Freightcom, we pride ourselves on being shipping experts and helping small and medium-sized businesses (SMBs) grow by offering the most efficient and cost-effective shipping platform in the industry. Like any successful business, we have evolved over the years, continuously observing and adapting to the needs of the businesses we serve. By listening to our customers, we’ve been able to refine our services, optimize our platform, and offer unparalleled support.

Freightcom has helped so many SMBs with their shipping needs, and that number continues to grow. Here are some of the most valuable lessons we’ve learned along the way.

 

The Power of Discounted Shipping Rates

Offering discounted shipping rates has always been a cornerstone of Freightcom’s operations, but the true impact of these savings on our customers continues to amaze us.

Many SMBs operate on tight margins, and reducing shipping costs can be a game-changer for their bottom line. By leveraging our bulk buying power and strategic partnerships with top-tier carriers, Freightcom offers cost-effective solutions that enable SMBs to ship their products across Canada, the US, and internationally without breaking the bank.

Discounted rates not only help businesses manage their budgets more effectively but also allow them to offer competitive shipping options to their customers. This levels the playing field, empowering SMBs to compete with larger retailers. Seeing our customers grow and succeed has taught us to never settle for what’s already available—we continuously seek new ways to offer the best LTL and parcel rates possible.

 

Expanding Horizons with a Wide Selection of Shipping Services

As Freightcom has worked with more businesses across Canada, we’ve realized that no two SMBs have the exact same shipping needs. Different industries, customer bases, and geographic locations require flexible and customizable shipping solutions.

To meet these varied needs, Freightcom provides a comprehensive range of shipping services, including:

  • Domestic and cross-border LTL shipping
  • International parcel shipping
  • Specialized freight services for unique shipments

Whether it's transporting smaller freight shipments via Less-than-Truckload (LTL) shipping or ensuring timely delivery of parcels across borders, our diverse service offerings cater to the unique requirements of different businesses. This flexibility allows SMBs to choose the most suitable shipping solution for each specific situation, improving both efficiency and customer satisfaction.

Simplifying Logistics with an Easy-to-Use Platform

Shipping logistics can be overwhelming for many SMBs, especially those without dedicated logistics teams. That’s why an intuitive, easy-to-use platform is essential. Freightcom's all-in-one shipping management platform simplifies the entire shipping process, from quoting and booking to tracking and invoicing.

Our platform is designed with user-friendliness in mind, making it accessible without the need for extensive technical expertise. Features like real-time tracking, automated documentation, and a centralized dashboard streamline logistics operations, allowing businesses to focus on their core activities.

This all-in-one approach saves businesses time, reduces errors, and enhances operational efficiency.

 

Enhancing Customer Experience with Knowledgeable Support

If there’s one universal truth in business, it’s that exceptional customer experience is key to success. A reliable and knowledgeable support team is critical in ensuring that customers can navigate their needs effectively, and that is something that we really take to heart.

Freightcom's customer service team is composed of shipping experts who provide personalized support, helping businesses resolve issues, optimize their shipping strategies and streamline operations. Whether a business needs guidance on reducing shipping costs, managing shipments, or selecting the best carrier, our team is always ready to assist.

 

eCommerce Integration to Strengthen Shipping

The way business is done has moved progressively more online over the years. As eCommerce continues to dominate the business landscape, Freightcom has made sure to stay ahead of the curve for our customers.

Freightcom offers seamless eCommerce integration through the Freightcommerce API. This integration allows businesses to incorporate Freightcom's competitive rates and shipping management capabilities directly into their online storefronts.

By integrating our powerful shipping tools into their websites, SMBs can enhance the shipping experience and improve customer retention by offering their customers cost-effective shipping options at checkout and providing real-time tracking updates.
