Essential for successful international business operations. I personally like the everyday challenges of consulting and helping clients develop NetSuite ecosystems for their businesses. The work is very fast-paced and requires a lot of logic and troubleshooting. It really taps into my engineering background, allowing me to problem solve. I find it very fulfilling to help my enterprise clients find creative ways to use native functionality or custom configurations to better integrate their ERP solutions, daily operations, and evolving shipping requirements to address their specific business use cases. FreightPOP: WHAT DO BUSINESS USING SUITECOMMERCE NEED TO UNDERSTAND TO DRIVE GROWTH? Caleb: NetSuite provides native integration for shipping with USPS, FedEx, and UPS, and the platform is more geared towards parcel shipments. For companies that need LTL and freight shipping utility beyond that native integration, companies like FreightPOP are a godsend. Integrating FreightPOP with NetSuite provides increased functionality and better ways to shop shipping rates across multiple carriers. Then, companies can compare more prices than just those from the three primary carriers. This allows businesses like ecommerce to increase overall margins on orders, depending on which one is going to provide the best rate. This is a more responsive and dynamic solution that provides more agility and resilience for enterprise customers. International ShippingCaleb: FreightPOP, in particular, also helps improve another critical area: international shipping. FreightPOP is a one-stop shop that offers everything competitive firms need to ship parcel, freight, and LTL across borders in a streamlined and efficient way. By integrating FreightPOP and NetSuite, you can access vital logistics data driving your company’s success from a single platform. FreightPOP: WHAT TRENDS ARE YOU SEEING AS WE HEAD INTO THE BUSY HOLIDAY SEASON AND LOOK TOWARDS 2022? Caleb: Every company that ships or works with various suppliers are running into ongoing supply issues. One of the best things you can do right now is to get organized with your data. And to access multiple options with carriers—being able to shop options to move your products around—is invaluable.NetSuite And Transportation Management System IntegrationThe key to managing capacity issues and making it through backlogs and

Does your TMS fail to connect with SAP S/4HANA? This was something a new client of ours encountered when trying to replace their transportation management system that was being discontinued. Here's how FreightPOP helped!Shopping for a TMSThe time had come for this high-end retail client to upgrade their shipping operations. Not only did their sunsetting TMS not connect to critical business systems, which meant they were not getting real-time logistics updates, but they also needed to pull together LTL and FTL shipments into a single platform and obtain quotes more efficiently—they were still relying on one-to-one emails and phone calls with carriers for spot quotes!This retailer had a lot of movements to stay on top of. They have heavy intra-company shipments from their manufacturing site to their distribution centers, where they are continually rebalancing inventory. They also organize a lot of inbound materials from several domestic vendors to their primary site.And while they were shopping around for a new TMS, they extended their search to include the accommodation of custom shipping labels, automatically pulling invoices from their EDI, and business intelligence tools that would give them auditing capabilities into invoices and carrier performance.

"Streamlined shipping" is bandied about by TMS companies quite a bit, but what can a solid shipping platform really do for businesses that organize high volumes of parcels and freight every day?To answer this, we look at one of FreightPOP’s engineering and manufacturing customers who provide custom hardware and software surveillance and fleet management solutions. They dominate their space with top-tier quality service and are a high-volume shipper shipping both parcel and freight globally.Customer Shipping Snapshot:Heavy parcel shipping - 16K+ shipments globally200-300 monthly LTL shipments Heavy domestic and international outbound and inboundCustomer Specific ChallengesThis customer had four specific challenges they wanted FreightPOP to address to streamline their shipping: 1) QuotingOur customer complained of clunky quoting processes that would delay their sales cycle. They had a single staff member responsible for obtaining shipping quotes, and the sales team often slammed them with queries. The customer also said that manual confirmation emails to carriers and customers were taking a quarter of a single employee's workday, which they found highly inefficient. Lastly, the customer desperately sought to save costs by using their own shipping account numbers (and therefore their better rates) on most orders—something they had no way to do consistently. 2) Integrations Before our customer started using FreightPOP, there were an incredible amount of manual inputs involved on every order. Daily, they would have to log into their carrier and freight forwarder websites to organize and track shipments. Their ERP did not integrate into a transportation management system to pull all the data together for one seamless ordering experience.The customer dreamed of having their sales team run quotes that would relay back to their Microsoft D365 system, giving them the ability to push and pull information. They wanted to be able to scan orders and build packages pulled from their system, eliminating the need for double entry.3) TrackingThe customer cited very fragmented shipping processes for the various modes they manage, including Parcel, LTL, FTL, Ocean and Air. They needed a way to see shipments in real-time, stay on top of issues, and communicate readily to their customers.4) Negotiating Better RatesFinally, the customer was frustrated with their inability to negotiate rates aggressively. Their head of operations would use a manual auditing and a third-party shipping expense optimization platform for some business intelligence but overall found their auditing data to be a "black hole".
