e4score's vision is to enable and reward excellence - right the first time, every-time - and thereby drive non-value added costs ("waste") from the North American transportation and logistics market.
We are convinced that there is at least $50 billion in waste in the $500 billion North American transportation and logistics marketplace. In e4score, business partners can share information and business processes so that they can work better together. Our initial offering is a best-in-class truckload Carrier Profile Database, which enables shippers and brokers to continuously improve their carrier base to reduce risk, improve service, and reduce costs. Carriers who strive for excellence are rewarded by increased business opportunities with shippers who value their capabilities.
back to topReducing waste is not only good for your bottom line, it is good for our environment. Improved truck utilization reduces emissions and congestion, and extends the life of our highways and bridges. In e4score, carriers can post their empty lanes in the Lane Matching section for look-up by shippers. Also, e4score is the only Carrier Profile Database to include the carrier's EPA SmartWay score, so that shippers can quickly find those carriers that share their passion for protecting our environment.

Unilever Shapes Up Shipping

"Bravo Solution's transportation sourcing solution was designed to foster a collaborative approach to develop win-win relationships between carriers and shippers. Maintaining a profile on e4score makes it easier for carriers to participate in Bravo sponsored sourcing processes. By being part of the e4score community, carriers could be automatically considered for events where they may have otherwise been overlooked by shippers increasing their business opportunities. This is an all around win for shippers and carriers alike."
"The e4score Preferred Carrier List functionality is powerful and cost-effective, enabling shippers and brokers to easily monitor their carrier base for registration, safety, and insurance compliance. I expect that many shippers or brokers with large carrier bases will quickly adopt this solution to reduce risk and drive competitive advantage."
