How Premium Helped This Dealer Ship Faster and Smarter
For Adam Richmond, the upgrade to Central Dispatch Premium has paid for itself.
Like most dealers, Adam Richmond priced his shipments with profitability in mind. But trying to find that perfect price on his own was a slow, tedious process that led to delays and frustration. It was time for a change.
“We were spending days slowly, incrementally increasing what we were going to pay for a load. We needed a new process and Price Check Plus gave us that.”
Now with Price Check Plus, Richmond and his team instantly see what each load is going to cost. It not only helps them dial in that ideal price, but gets loads picked-up faster.
“Price Check Plus basically allows us to become better stewards of time. You post your shipment, you understand what you should pay, you get contacted by the shippers — it’s changed the way we think about shipping.”
But the upgrade won’t just help him price better. Adam is preparing to take advantage of Premium’s seamless API integrations, which will allow his team to work more efficiently, and cut down the amount of time they spend entering and updating load information.
“Before, we had to make manual updates every time a vehicle’s status changed. Now with the API integration, we’ll actually be able to put the load in one time. It will automatically pull over to our data service and will greatly increase our ability to be efficient.”
Plus, the Central Dispatch staff has provided expert support at every step of the process, ensuring a seamless experience, and even helping Adam expand into new geographic markets.
“Central Dispatch has helped us think differently about what freight means to our business. They’ve helped us expand our reach, and given us opportunities to look at areas of the country we might not have before.”
