Challenge	One of America's largest non-profit agricultural advocacy organizations was struggling with outdated, manual shipping processes. They were shipping nearly 3,000 annual shipments, predominantly within their state, with almost 80% of these shipments being HAZMAT (farm equipment, agricultural products, batteries, etc.). As they prepared to expand their operations into more states, they urgently needed a shipping software that could support HAZMAT, provide API connections to their ecommerce platform SuiteCommerce, and integrate into their ERP solution NetSuite. They also needed automation to drastically cut the cost of manual processes and make arranging shipments more efficient. However, they found that not all shipping software or TMS solutions could support HAZMAT shipping, leading to wasted time in contract negotiations and training for a trial that ultimately proved unsuccessful.
