    Capabilities.











    Our LTL partners highly value our partnerships with them and favor us as a broker.

    70+ LTL Carrier Partnerships
    National, regional, and micro-regional carriers give Priority1 the flexibility to match each shipment with the right service and coverage.


    Built around your requirements
    We take the time to understand your business, service expectations, and operational requirements before aligning the right carrier solutions.


    Performance-Focused Execution
    We work directly with our carrier partners to establish clear service expectations and proactively manage shipments to support consistent, reliable transit.


    The Result
    Greater carrier flexibility, stronger visibility, and a transportation network built around your service standards.

    Vetted Truckload Network

    Priority1 maintains a carefully vetted truckload carrier network, with partners required to meet established standards for safety, reliability, and service. We continuously hold our carriers accountable to these expectations, helping ensure your freight is handled by qualified providers and delivered with consistent, dependable service.

    Carrier Reliability.

    Control Tower View
    Centralized visibility across multiple shipping locations within one TMS. Each site can manage its own shipments and workflows while management maintains a consolidated view of transportation activity, performance, and reporting.


    User Logins & Permissions
    Individual user logins (200+) allow access to be structured by site and role. Local teams can manage their shipments while authorized users can maintain visibility across multiple locations.


    Centralized Reporting
    Aggregate transportation data across sites to provide greater visibility into shipment activity, transportation spend, service performance, and operational trends.


    Multi-Site Management
    Separate locations within the TMS while maintaining centralized oversight, creating a scalable solution for organizations with multiple facilities and shipping teams.

    Claim Handling
    Claims are visible directly within the TMS, providing centralized visibility into claim status and activity. Clear instructions guide users through what information and documentation to submit, helping ensure claims are submitted accurately and efficiently. Our team will provide proactive updates as the claim gets processed.

    Reporting. Visibility Beyond Tracking.

    DAILY/WEEKLY SHIPMENT REPORTING
    A clear daily view of SAFT’s transportation activity.


    VARIANCE REPORTING
    Identify discrepancies, trends, and opportunities.


    KPI REPORTING
    Measure transportation performance and service levels.

    Freight Bill Auditing


    Priority1 provides complimentary freight bill auditing to identify billing discrepancies, incorrect accessorials, duplicate charges, and other invoice issues. This helps ensure you only pay what is owed and provides greater control over transportation spend. You will never receive an invoice that does not match the quote without hearing from us first.


    Freight Profitability


    For customers where you upcharge the freight for, a dollar amount or percentage can automatically be added to each quote, giving both your cost and customer price. This is then tracked directly on our dashboard to show exactly how much SAFT is making on the freight.


    Vendor Routing Shipments

    Priority1 provides centralized visibility into inbound vendor shipments, helping SAFT maintain greater control over transportation activity from origin through delivery. Vendors follow established routing instructions, while Priority1 manages carrier selection, scheduling, and shipment coordination to maintain consistent service and pricing across the inbound network. This creates greater visibility into inbound freight while reducing the administrative burden on SAFT’s team.

    International Transportation (ocean & air)

    Priority1 supports SAFT’s international transportation needs by managing capacity across ocean and international freight movements. Live container tracking provides visibility throughout the shipment lifecycle, while proactive management allows Priority1 to identify and address potential disruptions such as port congestion, vessel delays, and capacity constraints before they impact delivery. This provides SAFT with a centralized point of contact for international transportation and greater control over time-sensitive shipments.


    Invoicing


    Streamlined consolidated invoicing on a weekly basis provides a centralized process for managing transportation charges and supporting documentation. This simplifies reconciliation and gives your team greater visibility into freight-related expenses.


    API Integration


    Priority1 plans on integrating with SAFT’s internal systems to create a more seamless flow of shipment data. This can reduce manual entry, improve data accuracy, and support a more efficient routing, BOL, and scheduling process.




    Quarterly Business Reviews


    As part of the rollout plan, Priority1 will conduct monthly/quarterly business reviews to evaluate performance, review reporting and freight trends, identify opportunities for improvement, and align on upcoming transportation needs.

    Specialized Value Adds.

    Dedicated support teams
