Find compatible inbound orders that can share a pickup without delaying customer commitments.
Where this helps
Several buyers may issue purchase orders to the same supplier without seeing each other’s transport plans. Small shipments accumulate minimum charges even when they could move together.
What Rectangle connects
Connect ERP purchase-order readiness and required receipt dates with supplier locations, pallet dimensions, and TMS quotes. Group compatible freight within the same pickup window. Check weight, pallet positions, stackability, and receiving capacity before estimating savings.
