Description

UltraShip is a comprehensive transportation management system (TMS) designed specifically for freight brokerages and third-party logistics providers (3PLs) without their own assets. It consolidates various disjointed brokerage software tools into a single cohesive platform that streamlines the entire freight workflow, encompassing processes such as shipper prospecting, customer relationship management (CRM), quoting, carrier sourcing, compliance, as well as managing Full Truckload (FTL) and Less Than Truckload (LTL) shipments, real-time tracking, accounting, reporting, and artificial intelligence features. Unlike systems that are tailored for carriers or shippers, UltraShip is expressly crafted for brokers, enabling teams to minimize manual tasks, enhance operational visibility, and oversee everything from initial customer engagement to the completion of payment. The platform boasts a suite of integrated features, including Broker CRM, Inbox Intellect™, CarrierQ™, UltraCampaign™ for bulk email marketing, UltraConnect™ for communication, UltraAsk™ AI functionality, digital onboarding for carriers and shippers, compliance tracking, real-time performance analytics, and seamless integrations with industry tools such as DAT, Truckstop, Highway, MyCarrierPackets, RMIS, Trucker Tools, 123Loadboard, FMCSA, and QuickBooks to ensure a smooth workflow. Additionally, this robust system empowers logistics teams to make data-driven decisions that enhance efficiency and profitability in an increasingly competitive market.
