Freight Logistics (BFL) is a leading edge applications solutions provider
(ASP) that offers a total electronic logistics management solution
to dramatically enhance the way shippers and carriers move information,
freight and money to manage and grow their businesses. BFL
services
the US $500 billion North American freight market with an integrated
suite of products - Bid Freight Network, Bid Freight 3PL and Bid
Freight Financial that offer electronic means of tendering shipments,
bidding, negotiation, scheduling, delivery notification, and financial
settlement. In addition, the company is leveraging the immense capabilities
of the Internet to provide valuable enhancement services such as
online document imaging for each load, integration capability with
Enterprise Resource Planning and Transportation Management Systems,
and an integrated wireless track and trace offering targeted at
private fleets.
Bid Freight Logistics' Network is a centralized,
real time information service that communicates shipment information
among shippers, carriers, and consignees, as well as other providers
of transportation services. It is conceived to be a total logistics
management solution that provides automated methods for shipment
tendering, bidding, negotiation, scheduling, delivery notification,
and settlement. Bid Freight Network provides substantial benefits
for shippers, carriers and consignees who are members of the network.
With
access to Bid Freight, shippers have access to many high-quality
carriers that provide competitive pricing to haul freight. The system
acts as a support tool for shipment management, providing the shipper
with a transparent and complete disclosure of bids. This enables
an objective, fully informed decision about who should carry the
shippers' freight. Carriers have access to an expanded client base
of pre-qualified, financially stable shippers that provide business
opportunities outside the carriers' normal range of operations.
Carriers are able to access information about available loads that
meet the specific requirements of the carrier's capabilities. The large shipper base will "level the playing field" for smaller truckers
who want to compete with larger ones, but do not have the means
to engage a large marketing staff to find loads. Bid Freight Financial
is the settlement arm for both the Bid Freight Network and Bid Freight
3PL. Bid Freight Financial invoices the shipper member on behalf
of the carriers and offers carrier members a variety of payment
options including 7 day guaranteed, 21 day guaranteed or Standard
Pay.
