Eden Prairie, Minn.-based C.H. Robinson has made a series of tech enhancements to its self-shipping tool Freightquote by C.H. Robinson (freightquote.com).
The tool further automates and simplifies the shipping experience for small business owners while providing instant shipping options and real-time visibility to track shipments across all modes, according to a news release.
The release said small business owners have already reported saving half the time and cost when booking their shipping through Freightquote by C.H. Robinson.
The self-service shipping tool automatically provides new enhancements like terminal pick-up and drop-off to reduce costs; an interactive map that helps avoid additional charges; and even an option to hire a “Tasker” through a first-of-its-kind partnership with TaskRabbit, according to the release.
“We designed Freightquote by C.H. Robinson with easy-to-use technology, and are pleased that we are now unlocking even more automated opportunities to meet the shipping needs of our small business customers,” Mac Pinkerton, president of C.H. Robinson’s North American Surface Transportation division, said in the release.
“We know that many small business owners today face unprecedented challenges. That is why we built these new digital enhancements using our unmatched scale, information advantage and technology built by supply chain experts to make it easier than ever to meet their unique shipping needs today and in the future.”
