Integrated Carrier Vetting Simplified with MyCarrier Portal and Carrier Assure Combination
In a move aimed at strengthening the freight industry's defences against risk while maintaining operational agility, MyCarrier Portal and Carrier Assure have formed a strategic partnership. This collaboration is set to revolutionise carrier management, offering a more efficient, transparent, and user-driven approach.
The partnership aims to streamline onboarding processes, enhance monitoring, and prevent costly missteps. By integrating Carrier Assure's risk scoring system into the MyCarrier Portal dashboard, users can now view their own vetting results alongside Carrier Assure's risk score.
The Carrier Assure score is designed to surface risk patterns, not make absolute judgments. It flags potential fraudulent credentials, double-brokering, or identity theft, and incorporates a wide range of data points beyond surface-level safety metrics. The scoring model also relies on inputs from third-party sources, enhancing data quality.
MyCarrier Portal has also implemented a feature that allows it to automatically suspend carriers from use if they fall out of compliance or experience a significant drop in score. This proactive approach ensures that only reliable carriers are utilised, reducing the risk of incidents that could derail supply chains.
Carrier Assure requires documentation for user-submitted information, ensuring accuracy and authenticity. It also employs MacroPoint tracking, which adds transparency by showing actual tracking reliability compared to expectations.
To provide a comprehensive understanding of how the combined tools can help logistics professionals, a webinar is scheduled for September 25 at 2 p.m. ET. This event will demonstrate how the partnership between MyCarrier Portal and Carrier Assure can help brokers and shippers vet carriers correctly, preventing severe financial losses, reputational damage, and strained customer relationships.
Technology providers are increasingly focusing on tools that give brokers and shippers clearer visibility into carrier performance. The partnership between MyCarrier and the related partner specialising in security and fraud assessment was initiated due to demand from mutual customers. The system can identify unusual safety patterns, compliance gaps, or signs of business instability that may not show up in traditional checks.
The freight market is fraught with fraud and safety risks, making the partnership between MyCarrier Portal and Carrier Assure a significant step towards a safer and more efficient industry. The collaborative tools are set to redefine the way brokers and shippers manage carriers, offering a more secure and reliable approach to carrier management.
