CargoSphere is a software company that develops, markets, and sells its premier Rate Management System to the transportation industry. The company was founded in 1999 and has focused primarily on transportation intermediaries (NVOs and freight forwarders) since 2002. The System enables user companies to manage their own carrier contracts, while aggregating large volumes of external rates from a wide range of sources, including associations, agent partners, and neutral NVOs.
Soon after it entered the market, CargoSphere launched the CargoSphere Rate Sharing Network to support large-scale rate aggregation and rate sharing among its clients. The Rate Sharing Network rapidly became a vehicle for NVOs, forwarders, and associations to share rates using their CargoSphere Systems. This revolutionary technology continues to enhance global cooperation by connecting partners wishing to work together and share rates from System to System. Participation in the Rate Sharing Network remains optional for companies wishing to operate in a completely stand-alone environment.
CargoSphere has also created a collaborative platform for rate requests (RFQs) and responses between all participants in the quoting process: shippers, agents, internal sales and pricing personnel, and carriers. Advanced quoting tools enable users to produce branded and professional looking quote packages for FCL, LCL and Air, and range in size from single rates to 1,000 plus rates. Many user companies are now adopting the RFQ portal feature to have rate requests go right from their websites into their CargoSphere System.
The Company has protected its technology with U.S. Patents # 6,064,981 and # 6,920,429 and offers innovative functionality for multi-lane, multi-container rate negotiations. It has also laid the groundwork for large scale RFQ bidding/negotiation events and the conversion of such negotiations into contracts. Tried and tested rate management features will continue to ease the burden of managing subsequent base rate, GRI and surcharge amendments.
For those companies subject to Federal Maritime Commission (FMC) Tariff Publishing requirements in the U.S., CargoSphere has provided savings opportunities with its Tariff Publishing discount program. CargoSphere will also assist NVOs in taking full advantage of the exemption with its online rate negotiation capabilities with shipper clients.
CargoSphere continually upgrades its System and consistently delivers innovative features to promote customer satisfaction and loyalty. It has earned the trust of clients and created long-term business relationships by welcoming input and delivering quality features. Customer care is provided with enthusiasm and customer service has been a hallmark of the company since its inception.
The company has consolidated multiple modes of transportation rate management in a single System, including Ocean and Air, and will soon enable a Land Module. The software is web-based and requires no software installation - just a web browser for users to securely access their System.
The CargoSphere technology accelerates the speed of business by disrupting the status quo with an innovative rate management solution for logistics professionals. It is competitively priced and provides customers with great value and return for the money.
