WATSONVILLE, CA - This industry welcomes new supply chain solutions with open arms, and what better place to introduce them than at a trade show? Procurant has announced its latest partnership with Uber Freight US, aiming to provide an innovative shipping option for retailers and suppliers of fresh produce. The two will be featuring the new Procurant Ship solution at the upcoming International Fresh Produce Association Global Produce & Floral Show.
“This partnership is a game-changer for grocery retailers and their produce suppliers, and it will bring much-needed relief to an industry struggling with rising transportation costs and truck availability. With this partnership, we move one step closer to a more cost-effective and streamlined fresh food supply chain,” said Eric Peters, Chief Executive Officer of Procurant.
The partnership between Procurant and Uber Freight enables any produce supplier with a Procurant account to view a competitive transportation rate and secure shipment of a specific load while responding to an active purchase order, a press release explained.
Procurant Ship leverages the provider’s extensive industry expertise to offer immediate access to available quality carrier capacity to streamline carrier selection and provide real-time in-transit visibility.
“It’s imperative that produce suppliers are able to reliably source cost-effective, safe, and reliable transportation services. And as freight rates remain volatile, new technologies can help suppliers ensure food stays fresh and arrives on time. Through this exciting partnership with Procurant, we enhance the resilience of produce supply chains by reducing waste, keeping costs down, moving produce more efficiently, and ultimately better supporting the communities we serve,” said Matt Menner, Head of 4PL Sales – East at Uber Freight.
