So, what exactly is CzarLite, and why does your company need it? SMC³’s CzarLite® LTL base rate provides a neutral rating standard that allows LTL shippers and 3PLs to quickly and accurately evaluate shipping rates from multiple carriers. Simple, right? Not so much. Learn more about SMC³’s CzarLite base rate tool and how the solution can help with your business needs.

Neutral base rates that are accurate and dependable will provide shippers, carriers and other supply chain stakeholders the confidence that their LTL transportation strategies are backed by extensive data analysis and business intelligence resulting in a true win-win for all parties involved.

Today’s top LTL carriers have different network needs and service offerings, and that is reflected in the way they calculate LTL shipping rates. Without a neutral, standardized pricing foundation that takes shifting freight flows and modern market pressures into account, it’s impossible for customers to accurately and reliably compare one LTL carrier to the next. Shippers and logistics services providers can simplify their LTL pricing with a modern base rate that reflects the country’s demographic profile and the flow of domestic freight.

Less than truckload shipments make up a given company’s overall freight spend, but making sure these shipments are rated correctly, sent expeditiously and arrive at their destination undamaged, takes care and attention. Without the right technologies, it’s nearly impossible to drive the complexities out of the LTL shipment lifecycle. SMC³’s CzarLite XL and RateWare XL help connect shippers with the optimal carrier for their needs based on qualities like price and customer service.

Neutral base rates that are accurate and dependable will provide shippers, carriers and other supply chain stakeholders the confidence that their LTL transportation strategies are backed by extensive data analysis and business intelligence resulting in a true win-win for all parties involved.
