C.H. Robinson recently added new tech enhancements to its self-shipping tool Freightquote to further automate and simplify the shipping process for small business owners.
Freightquote offers a single online portal that give customers access to numerous shipping options — everything from a single package to a full truckload. These additional shipping options provide flexibility for small e-commerce businesses to fulfill growing online orders.
The self-service shipping tool automatically provides new enhancements like terminal pick-up and drop-off to reduce costs; an interactive map that helps avoid additional charges; and an option to hire a “Tasker” through an innovative, first-of-its-kind partnership with TaskRabbit.
Taskers are independent contractors that offer their services via the TaskRabbit platform to assist small business customers in ensuring that shipments are ready for pick-up. By ensuring that their shipments are packaged correctly for transportation, small business owners avoid the risk of losing time and money from damaged goods or a rejected pick-up that was not properly prepared.
C.H. Robinson has also added the following features to support small business customers:
Compare small parcel and LTL rates side by side
Access new, cost-effective options for shipping packages under 150 pounds
Leverage temperature-control truckload options and get instant quotes for shipping fresh produce, flowers, and other goods sensitive to climate conditions
New carrier identity checks, industry resources, and telematics supply chain research aim to make freight fraud and cyber risks harder to exploit.
