The platform guarantees prompt payment for haulers, eliminating intermediaries.
It aims to combat the 1,500% increase in cargo theft since 2021 and high broker markups.
ITF Group's research indicates significant improvements from adopting digital freight solutions.
"HaulerHub fosters direct connections between shippers and haulers," said Sam Burkhan, CEO of ITF Group. "This innovative solution prioritizes trust and relationships by implementing a rigorous five-layer authentication system to thoroughly vet and verify haulers. The program also guarantees prompt payment for completed work, a significant issue in the industry, by eliminating intermediaries."
A recent whitepaper by HaulerHub, titled "Breaking Free: The Future of Digital Freight Management," highlights the current challenges faced by shippers, including a substantial 1,500% increase in cargo theft since 2021 and broker markups that can consume 25-30% of shipping expenses. HaulerHub's platform offers real-time visibility and streamlined processes to effectively combat these issues, leading to reduced delays, errors, and overall costs.
ITF Group's research demonstrates the significant improvements that can be achieved by adopting digital freight solutions:
40% reduction in forecasting errors
65% decrease in logistics costs
90% faster issue resolution through automation
Up to 70% fraud reduction with blockchain-integrated documentation
These advancements signify a fundamental shift in how businesses manage, monitor, and move their freight, going beyond mere technological upgrades.
According to CargoNet, there were nearly 1,300 reported incidents of cargo theft in the U.S. and Canada last year, with approximately 50% of these thefts occurring in California, Texas, and Florida, underscoring the critical need for enhanced security measures.
"HaulerHub is a gamechanger for the logistics industry. The AI we've developed can optimize routes, make proactive decisions, eliminate paperwork, prevent fraud, and strategize resource allocation," said Burkhan. "This solution will give shippers more control over their operations and transform their logistics costs."
