Why should a company purchase a Data Trak solution when carrier provided software is free?
We think the carriers do a good job of providing a solution when a company uses a single carrier and shipping volumes are relatively low. When your system is provided by the carrier you ship your packages through that carrier, you process your shipments their way and you follow their rules. As long as your business requirements are simple, then this type of solution may work for some companies. A free system comes at a high price for companies shipping with multiple carriers and who have a need to exchange data with their WMS or ERP system. What attracts companies to our solution is Multi-Carrier flexibility. One system manages and processes all of your different carrier requirements, implements and follows your business rules, shops for the best rate between all carriers, allows a single method for users to input data, and gives your company corporate wide visibility on the status of shipments. Carriers are limited in their ability to implement sophisticated enterprise solutions.
