Webanto for Logistics: shipper retention and carrier network growth
Freight forwarders, 3PLs, carriers, and supply-chain platforms sell on reliability, visibility, and price — but the highest lifetime value comes from shippers who tender the same lanes month after month and carriers who stay in the network. Most still treat every shipper the same and every carrier the same, with generic rate requests and 'we have capacity' blasts that ignore the specific lanes, equipment, and service levels the customer actually uses. Webanto connects the TMS, rate engine, and carrier portal so lane-specific tender reminders, capacity alerts, and performance reviews fire automatically — while giving every account manager and carrier relations team a single view of the relationship.
Shipper churn above 25 percent year-on-year because the 'how was your last shipment?' follow-up never references the specific lane, transit time, or issue the shipper experienced.
Carrier network attrition because independent owner-operators and small fleets receive the same generic 'we have loads' emails as the largest asset-based carriers, with no respect for their equipment or preferred lanes.
Tender response rates below 40 percent because the rate request is sent to the entire carrier list instead of the 8-12 carriers who have historically performed well on that lane and equipment type.
Visibility and exception management that still relies on the customer chasing the account manager because there is no automated 'your container is delayed at Felixstowe — here's the plan' sequence.
Per-seat pricing on every TMS and marketing tool that makes it impossible to give every planner, account manager, and carrier relations specialist access to the full customer and carrier timeline.
Lane- and equipment-aware tender and capacity workflows that only contact the carriers who have performed well on that exact origin-destination-equipment combination in the last 90 days.
Shipper performance review automation that triggers 7 days after delivery with personalised 'your on-time delivery was 97% last month — here's how we can improve the 3% exceptions' messaging.
Carrier scorecards and incentive programmes that automatically enrol high-performing carriers into preferred lanes and rate tiers, with automated notifications when their performance drops.
Content Intelligence that turns case studies, lane guides, and regulatory updates into ranked assets that drive shipper enquiries and carrier sign-ups.
Flat pricing that lets the entire logistics organisation (sales, operations, planning, carrier relations, marketing) operate inside one shipper/carrier record without seat-count penalties.
Lane-specific tender, capacity alerts, performance reviews, and carrier incentive sequences that know exactly who the recipient is and what they move.
Lane guides, regulatory updates, and shipper case studies that rank for supply-chain queries and convert to enquiry pages.
LinkedIn scheduling for thought-leadership on supply-chain resilience and carrier success stories that drive inbound interest.
A mid-sized European freight forwarder increased carrier response rate on spot tenders from 31% to 58% and reduced shipper churn by 14 percentage points after moving all lane-specific and performance-based communication into Webanto with full TMS sync.
Via API or daily CSV from most major TMS platforms (SAP TM, Oracle OTM, BluJay, MercuryGate, etc.). We map shipments, lanes, carriers, performance scores, and rate history into the contact timeline and workflow triggers.
Carrier segmentation by equipment type, preferred lanes, performance score, and capacity calendar. A carrier who only runs reefers on the Rotterdam–Madrid lane will never receive a flatbed tender for Hamburg–Warsaw.
Yes. Origin-destination pairs, equipment type, booked transit time, actual transit time, and exception codes are available as merge fields and branching logic. A shipper who had a 4-day delay on the Felixstowe–Rotterdam lane receives a completely different performance review than a shipper with perfect on-time performance.
Flat per-plan pricing is built for exactly this scale. You move up tiers for advanced automation or higher send volume — not because your carrier or shipper count grew. Many mid-sized forwarders and 3PLs run 5k–15k contacts on the Growth tier.
