What FreightPlus does

FreightPlus is a privately held managed transportation provider headquartered in Quincy, Massachusetts, serving middle-market shippers — typically companies with $20M–$500M in revenue and $5M–$100M in annual freight spend that have outgrown their broker or TMS but cannot justify a full in-house logistics team. The company executes freight strategy, carrier procurement, day-to-day operations, analytics, and continuous optimization on behalf of shippers, with pricing structured as a managed-services fee tied to spend under management or savings achieved rather than a standalone software license. FreightPlus claims $300M+ in freight under management, 10,000+ loads per month, >95% on-time delivery/pickup, a 0.50% claims ratio, and 50%+ reductions in client transportation headcount.

The company's core technology is FreightPlus One, a proprietary AI-powered control tower built and maintained in-house — explicitly not a vendor platform with FreightPlus branding. The platform unifies pricing and benchmarking (against $60B+ in market data from Triumph Intelligence, FreightWaves SONAR, DAT, SMC3, Jaggaer), carrier procurement and vetting (Highway, FMCSA, Carrier411, Nextboard), real-time tracking (Macropoint, Project44, Samsara, Highway Load Lock+ ELD), automated invoice audit (Amazon Textract, NAVIX), and a custom BI layer (Snowflake, AWS Redshift, Fivetran, Power BI). Distinctive technical components include Email-to-Load AI ingestion (NLP that converts forwarded emails into structured loads with zero IT integration), LLM-based entity resolution (mapping carrier MC numbers across formats and reconciling definitions), order-level intelligence linking shipments to POs/SOs for SKU-level cost and customer profitability, and proactive exception management on 100% of shipments.

The business model is anchored on direct sales to mid-market shippers through an operator-led 30-minute intro meeting, a 30–60 day pilot on defined lanes with weekly savings benchmarking, and conversion to a multi-year managed transportation engagement. FreightPlus integrates alongside or replaces enterprise TMS platforms (Oracle TMS, SAP TM, Blue Yonder, MercuryGate, MasterMind, NetSuite) via EDI/API, or operates standalone via the Instant Integrate suite. A separate carrier-facing motion recruits and onboards 10K+ carriers through a 15-minute Highway-verified digital process, with 24-hour Quick Pay funded by TriumphPay. The company serves manufacturers, food & beverage companies, distributors, consumer goods/Amazon aggregators, and packaging companies, with verticals weighted toward industrial manufacturing and food & beverage based on case-study frequency.

Core offering

FreightPlus is a managed transportation provider that executes freight shipments on behalf of middle-market shippers, pairing its proprietary AI-powered platform, FreightPlus One, with hands-on logistics operations. The company handles shipment planning, carrier selection, execution, and visibility, allowing clients to outsource transportation management rather than build in-house logistics teams. Free planning tools complement the core managed service for shipper education and lead generation.

Product overview

FreightPlus is a managed transportation provider for middle-market shippers offering a unified platform-plus-services model built around FreightPlus One, its proprietary AI-powered control tower. FreightPlus One integrates pricing and benchmarking (Triumph Intelligence, FreightWaves SONAR, DAT, SMC3, Jaggaer), carrier procurement and vetting (Highway, FMCSA, Carrier411, Nextboard), real-time tracking and visibility (Macropoint, Project44, Samsara, LoadLock+ ELD), automated invoice audit (Amazon Textract, NAVIX), data science and analytics (FreightPlus Insights via Snowflake, AWS Redshift, Fivetran, Power BI), client and carrier communications (Front), and optimization and dock scheduling (Infios OaaS, Opendock, Vooma). FreightPlus One modules include Financial Command, Load Detail, Tracking & Visibility, Charges & Documents, Rate Shop, Order Management, Load Board, Invoice Hub, Document Management, and FreightPlus Insights. Lighter-weight engagement is enabled via the Instant Integrate suite: Email-to-Load AI (NLP-powered email ingestion), LLM Mapping (AI endpoint identification), the One Order App (web-based order builder), and Public Rate Shop (in development). FreightPlus also provides five free standalone tools — Freight Density Calculator, LTL vs Truckload Calculator, Trailer Pallet Calculator, Fuel Surcharge Calculator, and Carrier Risk Assessment — that function independently of the managed transportation platform. All managed transportation engagements include FreightPlus One access at no additional license cost.

Direct peers

• Echo Global Logistics: Tech-enabled freight brokerage and managed transportation provider serving middle-market shippers across truckload and LTL. Echo's technology-led brokerage model and customer overlap with mid-market shippers makes it one of the closest direct competitors to FreightPlus.
• Coyote Logistics: Multi-mode freight brokerage (now part of RXO following the UPS Freight divestiture) with technology-driven capacity matching and managed services. Coyote's mid-market and enterprise customer base and emphasis on digital freight tools make it a direct comparable.
• Transportation Insight: Managed transportation and supply chain solutions provider targeting mid-to-large shippers with technology-enabled procurement, audit, and analytics services. Closely comparable on the managed-transportation-for-the-middle-market positioning.
• BlueGrace Logistics: Freight brokerage and managed transportation provider for small and mid-market shippers, combining proprietary technology (BlueGrace Logistics Platform) with dedicated account management. Strong overlap in mid-market customer profile and TMS-agnostic integration approach.
• Worldwide Express: Unified logistics platform offering LTL, truckload, parcel, and managed transportation services to mid-market customers across North America. Comparable in target segment, multi-mode service mix, and consultative sales motion.

Emerging players

• Uber Freight: Tech-enabled freight marketplace and managed transportation arm of Uber, combining digital brokerage with Transplace-style managed services. Competes on technology depth and carrier network scale, with greater capital resources.

Comparable in tech-led, customer-empowerment positioning, though currently focused more on international freight than domestic managed transportation.

Broad incumbents

• C.H. Robinson: Largest North American third-party logistics provider with global freight brokerage, managed services (Robinson Fresh, NAST), and Navisphere technology platform. Represents the mega-broker incumbent against which FreightPlus explicitly positions itself as a better alternative for mid-market shippers.
• RXO: Asset-light freight brokerage spin-off from XPO Logistics, now incorporating Coyote Logistics; offers truckload, LTL brokerage, managed transportation, and last-mile services. Large-scale incumbent competing across the same customer segments with greater scale but less mid-market focus.
