FreightPOP’s Unified Freight API vs. Alternatives

Connectivity, effort, visibility, and total cost of ownership

Aspect FreightPOP’s Unified Freight API Individual Carrier APIs / Legacy Systems
Carrier ConnectivityParcel, LTL, FTL, international Hundreds of carriers integrated out-of-the-box. Add new carriers without custom builds. Limited coverage; each carrier requires a separate integration.
Implementation EffortSpeed to value One integration to connect ERP/WMS/eCommerce to all carriers; pre-built connectors accelerate go-live. Multiple one-off builds; ongoing maintenance for every carrier API.
FunctionalityEnd-to-end workflow Full TMS: instant rates, booking, labels, tracking, and invoice audit—configurable rules across modes. Capabilities vary by carrier; no unified cross-carrier workflow.
Data VisibilityControl & reporting Single dashboard with real-time cross-carrier tracking and analytics (spend, performance, on-time rates). Fragmented data across portals; manual aggregation required.
Scalability & SupportGrowth-ready Scales with volume, locations, and carriers; expert onboarding and ongoing support. Scaling strains custom integrations; support split across vendors or in-house only.
Cost ImpactTotal cost of ownership Lower ship costs via competitive rate shopping; reduced IT maintenance. Higher ship/IT costs and upkeep across many integrations.
