Challenge	4Wall Entertainment, a leader in entertainment markets across America and Europe, was facing challenges in managing its logistics. The company ships all over North America and Europe, with unique requirements based on the size of an event. They use established relationships with carriers and vendors to provide the consultative approach to customer service they are renowned for. With 11 locations throughout America, 4Wall's National Logistics Manager, Jeff Sudderth, was looking for a system that would give him regional control over what carriers his logistics coordinators used, allow 4Wall to use existing carriers on both truckload and LTL, and make it easier to track where equipment was in real-time.

Solution	FreightPOP, a robust Transportation Management System solution, was selected by 4Wall because it specifically met Jeff's requirements.

Integrations with 300+ carriers are supported, with customer contracted rates pulled in for a dashboard view of rate options for each and every shipment. All inbound and outbound tracking is available in at-a-glance views, meaning no logging in and out of carrier websites or relying on slow email notifications to establish where gear is.
