Acuitive's global TMS was built to fix the inefficiencies in international shipping operations, where processes remain manual and paper-based. Acuitive's cloud-based platform replaces manual steps with rules-based workflows that dramatically reduce the time and cost of common shipping processes.

It's the ultimate irony that the freight you need to arrange the fastest is the slowest to approve. Fortune 100 companies are the worst offenders, with complex approval processes for global air freight shipping that can inflate costs 7-10%. Cheaper options disappear when it takes too long to decide on expedited air freight shipping.
Manual routing of international shipments relies on dumbed-down static routing guides, which tell overseas suppliers how to route freight. Because these guides can't consider the many if/then variables that drive routing decisions, you lose the ability to align the service with the actual business need - an expensive limitation that can inflate global freight costs 7%-10%.
At the offices of some of the world's largest global shippers, you'll still see clerks poring over freight bills trying to spot discrepancies. The question is: Why, when proven, automated processes exist that generate far more accurate results for a fraction of the time and effort? Inefficient use of resources.
For large companies that ship parcels among global offices, the default solution for courier and parcel shipping is to use a "free" carrier-provided solution. Inflexible carrier choice. When you're locked into one provider, you most definitely overpay for certain lanes where that carrier is less competitive.
