A prime example is Averitt Connect, our LTL transportation management system. We’ve partnered with a nationally recognized provider – MyCarrier TMS – to offer a one-stop shop for our customers. And through Averitt Connect, we’ve introduced dynamic freight pricing that allows us to respond to real-time market conditions. “Averitt Connect helps customers get more precise pricing,” explains Director of Corporate Business Development JEFFERY WILHITE . “They’re entering dimensional information, and it helps us because when we get that information after the customer creates the shipment, we know in advance exactly what we’re going to be picking up from the customer. That helps operations associates with their planning. It’s more efficient because we have preassigned PROs that we’re basically matching up in the tablet as opposed to doing additional work. It’s more simplified.” Jeffery says the dimensional pricing approach is where the industry is heading. “Instead of asking, ‘What does it weigh and what is the class?,’ the question is, ‘What does the shipment look like?’” Jeffery says. “Now we know where it’s starting, we know where it’s going, and we know what it looks like. We know how it’s moving in our network.” ‘FLOORING’ OUR CUSTOMERS All South Flooring is one customer that has taken advantage of Averitt Averitt Connect Technology A Win-Win For Customers, Associates One way we secure our future is embracing technology that serves our customers while simplifying processes for our associates.
