DAT Freight & Analytics introduced the integration of LaneMakers, a tool for finding untapped truckload capacity into its DAT iQ Benchmark freight analytics product. This enhancement gives shippers new capabilities to identify active carriers for underserved or underperforming lanes without disrupting their benchmarking workflow.
“With LaneMakers integrated into DAT iQ Benchmark, you can reduce time spent manually sourcing carriers or toggling between load boards and spreadsheets,” says Sarita Benjamin, senior director of the shipper business at DAT. “You can find solutions to your low-volume, underserved, or ‘problem’ lanes and move from analysis to action.”
Key takeaways:
· With this integration, shippers and brokers can now launch LaneMakers directly from within DAT iQ Benchmark. With a single click, they can instantly view a list of active carriers moving similar freight on that lane and filter results to find carriers that align with their sourcing strategy.
· LaneMakers analyzes historical load-board postings and searches and identifies carriers that engage on a shipper’s target lanes. The new integration into DAT iQ Benchmark creates a more efficient workflow for finding capacity on underserved lanes.
