For numerous food and beverage clients, Kuebix enables stakeholder collaboration, consolidates freight and optimizes routes resulting in more efficient use of trucks and a reduction in fuel usage. By using Kuebix TMS, shippers and carriers support “green” initiatives such as having the ability to match available capacity with freight to prevent trucks from riding empty on return trips. Fully utilizing available truck capacity leads to fewer trucks on the road and less fuel used. Kuebix acts as a powerful command center, helping enterprises, suppliers, and carriers discover opportunities for matching capacity to demand and driving continuous efficiencies.
