It is designed for companies that need more control over freight activity, carrier performance, cost trends, reporting, and supply chain execution.
For some customers, FreightCenter’s quote-and-book technology is the right fit. For others, BlueShip® provides the broader supply chain solution they need. Some businesses may use a hybrid approach, using FreightCenter for fast transactional quotes while leveraging BlueGrace and BlueShip® for larger-scale freight visibility, reporting, and managed logistics support.
When FreightCenter Technology Is the Right Fit
FreightCenter is a good fit when you need fast freight options without a complex implementation process. It is designed for shippers who want a clear, simple way to compare rates and book freight.

A Hybrid Freight Technology Option
Some businesses need both speed and strategy. That is where the FreightCenter and BlueGrace relationship creates added value.
A customer may use FreightCenter to get fast quotes for transactional shipments while working with BlueGrace for broader logistics support, deeper reporting, or spreadsheet-level freight quote analysis. This hybrid approach can help businesses compare options quickly while still gaining access to the supply chain expertise and technology of BlueGrace.
For example, a small business may start with FreightCenter for occasional LTL quotes. As shipping volume grows, that same business may need BlueGrace support for routing decisions, reporting, carrier strategy, or transportation management through BlueShip®.
FreightCenter gives shippers an easy place to start. BlueGrace gives growing businesses a path to scale.
FreightCenter helps shippers compare rates, book freight, and manage shipments with simple, easy-to-use technology. For businesses that need deeper visibility, reporting, and supply chain control, BlueGrace’s BlueShip® TMS offers a more advanced transportation management solution.
