GoodShip is the first all-in-one platform for freight orchestration and procurement. Our innovative software helps shippers optimize their freight spend and service outcomes, while enhancing collaboration among internal teams and carrier partners. Our platform brings together disparate data sources (e.g., tender data, real-time location, contract awards, market benchmarks) to offer shippers a comprehensive view of their transportation network. With our advanced recommendation engine, users can identify the highest impact opportunities to save money, improve on-time service, and reduce reliance on the spot market. More than just analytics, GoodShip provides actionable insights directly within the platform. Transportation teams can easily take corrective actions, such as renegotiating contract rates, initiating performance alerts, or running off-cycle and network-wide bids with best-in-class, purpose-built procurement tools. These capabilities give shippers the agility and resilience to optimize their networks amidst volatile market conditions and shifting carrier performance.
