PROFITsystems, Inc., a leading enterprise software provider for the retail furniture industry, announce that it has expanded its freight savings program, PROFITfreight, to non-clients. The program, which started in 2005, has only been available to PROFITsystems clients until now. With the expansion, this program will now be available to businesses of all kinds whether they’re a retailer, vendor or service provider. PROFITfreight is designed to help retailers save money on their shipping which includes inbound, outbound and third party shipments. To date, members have been very successful and have saved over $3.6 million collectively.
Furniture retailers need to save money in any way they can, especially by lowering their freight expense. Many retailers don’t have the option to employ a full-time person to negotiate their rates and audit their freight bills for errors. Even worse, due to lack of time and staffing, many retailers simply pay the bill, assuming that they have no control over their billing. PROFITfreight offers a full-time freight staff, dedicated to providing retailers with excellent freight rates with nationwide carriers, shorter road days, online quoting capability, outstanding customer service, and much more.
Ricki Stark, VP of PROFITservices stated, “PROFITfreight is so confident that our members will see savings from the program that we offer a money back guarantee. By opening the program to non-clients we expect the savings for each retailer to be even greater in the future.” Benefits of the PROFITfreight program include reduced residential delivery fees, no-hassle nationwide coverage, waived notification fees, online quoting capability, volume pricing for larger shipments and one week or less coast-to-coast delivery. PROFITfreight also provides many services for retailers including quotes, education, and advice on routing and pricing. Their experts will review their member’s accounts on an individual basis to provide them with a complete and thorough analysis of their shipping needs. “Since rates are negotiated based on volume, each new member helps guarantee the best possible rates and services to all of the members. The more retailers PROFITfreight has, the bigger the savings,” said Layla Berglund, Director of PROFITfreight.
