The speed and accuracy of logistics have never been more important; therefore, working with a partner that has built a best-of-breed technology ecosystem is critical. With MODE Transportation, we look at each process and are hyper-focused on finding ways to automate and innovate for efficiency, accuracy, speed, price and sustainability. From our customer and carrier portals to our custom TMS system, we prioritize tech-enablement in everything we do.
Our tech systems are enhanced through the use of AI to help our team members place freight efficiently, allow carriers to instantly bid on loads and be matched with the best-fit freight, and provide unmatched capacity and modal options for our customers.
Our proprietary platform, MODE VPO (Visibility, Predictability, Optimization), provides customers transparency and insight into opportunities for cost savings, modal optimization, carbon emission management and alignment of shipment volumes and lanes. Additionally, our MODE IQ platform allows carriers to instantly book shipments through our intelligence-based freight management system.
