Partnership integrates freight and warehouse management

Red Ledge’s new, fully integrated solution picks goods for dispatch before using warehouse management and control (WMC) data to generate carrier compliant shipping labels that are low-cost, based on a pay-as-you-go business model. The freight system is carrier-agnostic, selecting the best supplier based purely on time or cost – and is recognised by carriers worldwide.

Other benefits for supply chain users include a single-platform tracking portal that publishes carrier tracking events to provide the user with a clear view of all freight throughout its journey, plus reporting and analysis tools that eliminate courier errors to cut costs by up to 15% says Red Ledge. A proof-of-delivery solution is also available.

Red Ledge director Alan Wilcockson said: “This is a supply chain market first, providing a new level of integration that will speed business processes, improve customer service and cut shipping costs."
