Freightify says its service provides visibility to rates from 30+ LCL and FCL carriers and NVOCCs, plus 90+ airlines. Essentials+ adds rate upload as a service, on-screen updates, stored uploaded rates, and an audit trail. Its API can provide live ocean rates and schedules and track shipments for use in ERP, TMS, or RMS systems. Enterprise lists TMS, MDM, and CRM integrations and a mobile app for searching rates and quotes and tracking shipments. It is presented for freight forwarders, shippers, logistics technology providers, and NVOCCs. Pricing is on request, with no free plan.

Loadar is a web-based logistics procurement and management platform connecting shippers and carriers. For each lane, shippers can choose Fixed Commitment, Phased Commitment, Dynamic, or Ad Hoc procurement. It supports road, rail, sea, air, and mixed-mode freight, and links procurement to tracking, document exchange, performance reporting, and freight-charge auditing. Loadar also lists rate comparison, contract management, and carrier bid management. ERP and WMS integration comes as standard, while the maker says shipper customisation and integrations carry no licence fees. The free shipper plan is listed at free and includes tenders, ERP integration, load visibility, an audit trail, and customisation and integrations. Carriers have a no-subscription option with a fee for every transaction. Loadar says real-time carrier bidding leads to an average 15% saving for shippers. The maker describes the platform as intended for large enterprise shippers. Onboarding includes training and guidance from a dedicated Customer Success Manager; implementation may take as soon as two weeks.
