CHICAGO, Nov. 14, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Uber Freight, the leading end-to-end enterprise suite powering intelligent logistics, today announced the launch of Broker Access, a new program that enables brokers to book and execute loads digitally on Uber Freight's carrier network while remaining the sole broker on the load. The capacity-as-a-service solution, which was designed to supercharge productivity, service levels, and business growth for brokers of all sizes, evolved from the company's existing Market Access platform and marks a significant expansion of Uber Freight's marketplace technology.
Freight brokers operate in a dynamic and demanding environment, juggling an array of operational workflows and processes, and technology platforms. They do all of this with fluctuating margins and ever-increasing fraud risks. Broker Access helps digitize and automate broker operations by making it easy to book, execute, track, and pay for loads with a user-friendly self-serve portal or via turnkey API, EDI, or TMS integrations. The program unlocks access to Uber Freight's vast, private network of tens of thousands of tech-enabled carriers, ensuring brokers can service their customers reliably and efficiently, as well as mitigate fraud risks in all market conditions. Along with brokers' proprietary carrier networks and public load boards, Broker Access helps brokers complete their diversified sourcing strategy to thrive across market conditions.
