Carrier choices get made on habit. One ships with whoever the warehouse used last time, another picks the cheapest quote of the day, and nobody compares how those carriers actually performed. The freight data exists across a dozen orders, but it never gets pulled together.

The cost shows up as missed deliveries and finger-pointing. A carrier blows a transit window and there is no record to hold them to, or an expired insurance certificate surfaces only after a claim. In 2026, with shipping still volatile, picking a carrier blind is a delay you cannot explain to a customer.

The Freight Companies app puts every partner in one record. Service regions, rates, compliance documents, plus the freight history behind each one. When it is time to route a shipment, the decision rests on what the carrier has actually done.

Every carrier carries a full profile, with service regions, specializations, plus contact info. Freight history ties to the orders, vendors, plus warehouse transfers a carrier handled, so you compare cost and transit time across partners on real numbers rather than a sales pitch.

Compliance lives on the record too. Insurance certificates, freight terms, plus expiry dates upload right there, and a lapse is visible before it becomes a problem. You assign carriers by location, vendor, or warehouse, tie them into routing rules and drop shipment flows, plus filter by active, preferred, or restricted partners.

Most deployments run in weeks, not months. Your carrier list and freight history come over clean, and the app ties into the order and returns tools you already run. The team stops guessing which carrier earns the next shipment.
