Always Find the Cheapest Tariff: It's So Simple with e-freight, Your Freight Database
In many companies, thousands of freight decisions are made on a daily basis. Additional inquiries come from various internal departments and locations requesting freight information needed for calculating project run times and sales prices. In light of the growing diversity in freight, carriers, destinations and forwarders, transparency is inevitably diminishing.
This can cost a company tens of thousands of euros every day. With e-freight, Städtler Logistik’s online freight database, that can't happen.

e-freight – This Return on Investment Is Hard to Beat
Many companies make hundreds or even thousands of freight decisions every day. Of course, rigorous negotiations with forwarders take place in the first place. But then, when it comes to actual freight purchasing, the wrong tariff is often selected due to a lack of transparency. And even small price differences can quickly add up to large, avoidable sums.
Reducing logistics costs
In freight purchasing and all other departments throughout the company, the best valid tariff is selected every time. This lowers your logistics costs.
