Logistyx requires outside help to do any of these jobs. “It's a frustrating experience relying on someone else.”
- No self-service UIs to make changes yourself
- No connection between fragmented products
- You must repeat changes across all instances
Expensive
Leaning on System Integrators means costs stack up quickly. Every time you need to make a change sounds like a cash register ringing.
Slow
Leaning on your company's IT team means you need to get in the queue. With staff layoffs happening everywhere, the wait for changes is long.
Non-Responsive
Leaning on Logistyx to help means filing a support ticket that lately isn't being responded to. After their acquisition, the support team has been cut.
Pre-integrated carrier network
Single, centralized carrier network means you can add new carriers in a single afternoon at no cost
"With Shipium, shippers get fast access to a diversified network of carriers."
— Scott Ruffin, Founder & CEO
Turn on new carriers
Every carrier service method can be turned on in a day, all that's needed are your rates.
Turn off carriers
Equally important are some situations where you need to immediately disable a carrier.
Surcharge upkeep
Our in-house TransOps team manages published and unpublished surcharges for you.
8 week SLA
We offer an 8-week SLA to integrate a new carrier or service not yet on the network.
Zero fees
Adding a new carrier or service is always free. There are no costs no matter what.
All inclusive
Every carrier type, geography, mode, or cost is treated the same way in our network.
Logistyx is a roll up of several old carrier networks which aren't integrated.
It takes months to add new carriers
And its not free. Any Logistyx customer looking to expand their carrier mix is met with expensive technical roadblocks that can't meet the needs of the business. System integrators are required.
Can't rate shop across the different libraries
Because the different carrier libraries were never merged after the roll up, if you use a carrier with one library and a carrier from a different library, you can't rate shop or date shop across them.
No surcharge help
Public and unpublished surcharges are not updated across the full Logistyx customer install base, which means you have to pay attention to surcharges. Shipium's in-house TransOps team does that for you.
