50%

100%
saving on the staff time previously spent handling shipments
100%
elimination of shipping error costs
The challenge
DSCO shipped through carriers it had contracted directly. Rates were fixed by those contracts, an employee spent their time booking shipments and preparing AWBs, and errors in paperwork created costs that were hard to track.
What changed
- Every shipment is compared across 20+ carriers before booking
- ShipVerge prepares accurate AWBs and coordinates pickups
- One account and one invoice replace separate carrier relationships
The results
Rates through ShipVerge came in lower than DSCO’s own contracted rates, the in-house booking workload was removed, and shipping error costs dropped to zero.
“Their pricing is even lower than the rates we receive directly from our contracted shipping companies, and the entire shipping process has become much smoother, with accurate AWBs and better pickup coordination.”
