Widespread Recognition
The CzarLite pricing system is the basis for thousands of LTL contracts that annually account for over $15 billion in managed transportation. CzarLite pricing products are licensed to hundreds of carriers, including all 50 of the largest national, multi-regional and regional LTL carriers.
Individual shippers, who are the ultimate consumers of transportation services, provide the best insight into the widespread use of CzarLite. Shippers of all sizes, from many of the largest global organizations to the casual and infrequent shipper, utilize CzarLite information to make informed LTL purchases. These shippers act both directly and indirectly through their technology software and transportation intermediaries. CzarLite has been licensed to over 1,900 shippers, including over one-third of the Fortune 500 companies.
On the opposite end of the Fortune 500 size equation, CzarLite is used to represent the LTL buying interest of thousands of small, occasional LTL shippers through the online services of companies who aggregate the buying power of these small shippers into powerful negotiation bodies that rely on CzarLite base rate pricing and technology. These and other organizations representing small shippers annually account for over $100 million in CzarLite transportation purchases.
Standardized Integration
Creating the LTL pricing benchmark is only part of the task. Making it useable throughout the myriad of technical systems and business software applications is the other challenge. SMC³ delivers on this promise through its Alliance Partner Program. This special group of transportation technology leaders not only uses and supports SMC³ technology, it also serves as a collective of subject matter experts, thought influencers and advisors on how SMC³ can address the ever-changing challenges of technical implementation. One measure of the success of this relationship with the technology community is the widespread implementation of SMC³’s LTL pricing technology through its customer base.
Easy Implementation
The first step to getting started with CzarLite is to select the base rate license that best fits your needs. You can choose from base rates for the continental U.S. only, or you can add rates for cross-border applications with Canada and/or Mexico.
