Intelligent Multi-Carrier Price Shopping for Smarter, Cheaper Shipping

Q: 1. What happens to carrier rate shopping if my internet connection drops at the carrier negotiation moment?

No — real-time rate shopping won’t complete offline. The system runs on cloud APIs to fetch live rates. Locally, dispatchers can still view last synced rates and carrier preferences, but for up-to-date comparisons connectivity must be restored.

Q: 2. Can It’s Here push selected carrier decisions back into our existing ERP/WMS?

It depends on your integration setup. The platform offers an Open API that can be used to sync carrier assignment data with ERP or WMS, but you’ll need integration planning to map those events correctly.

Q: 3. Is pricing charged per carrier use or per shipment?

It depends — custom negotiated. Carrier pricing details are not published; It’s Here generally uses subscription licensing. Contact Sales for a quote that reflects your shipment volumes and carrier usage.

Q: 4. If a driver is in a low-coverage zone, can their driver app still update carrier status or pickup confirmations?

No — only when connectivity resumes. Like all cloud-connected carrier modules, the driver app syncs status updates when it has a connection. Some local buffering may persist in the app until sync returns.

Q: 5. Can I compare carrier transit times and service levels before committing to one on a high volume batch?

Yes. The multi-carrier rate shopping feature pulls real-time cost, ETA, and service level data so you can compare before execution.

Q: 6. Will this system replace our current carrier scoring and performance reports?

Yes — for core metrics. The dashboard consolidates carrier rate, cost, and performance into transparent reporting, reducing reliance on spreadsheets or manual scorecards.

Q: 7. Does the platform lock me into a single preferred carrier network?

No. It’s Here enables true multi-carrier management — you’re not locked into one provider and can choose the best option for each shipment.

Q: 8. Can different user roles see different sets of carrier info (e.g., dispatchers vs finance)?

Yes. User access levels can be controlled so teams only see what’s relevant to their role, protecting sensitive rate data.
