Case Studies
Noble Choice Logistics proudly upholds the tradition of excellence started by GlobalTranz, our parent company.
FinishMaster Chooses GlobalTranz to Unlock Wide Scalability and Better Service
“Our business had grown in number of locations and volume. It had also outgrown our transportation and freight department.
We needed help with rate negotiations, fuel surcharges, a DOT-compliant Bill of Lading, and, most importantly, an interface to our ERP system to streamline creating BOLs. After searching for answers, we entered into an agreement with Noble Choice Logistics, now a part of Global Tranz.
The staff and leadership of Noble Choice Logistics embraced these needs, helping to create an interface from ERP system to their LTL Rater system, which in turn gave us a DOT-compliant BOL for each shipment. Additionally, Noble Choice was able to leverage our freight volume to negotiate very aggressive rates that included a fuel surcharge on a fuel table versus an ‘adjustable rate.’
In addition to these items, Noble Choice provided assistance when carrier performance was lacking and assisted with a process for filing claims shipped via the LTL Rater.
Noble Choice also provided a consolidated weekly billing invoice that was easy to read and process and provided reporting that helped us understand our transportation performance and where improvement could be made.”
Direct Supply Partners With GlobalTranz to Handle Their Annual Destinations
“Our partnership with Noble Choice Logistics and now the Noble Choice Logistics product through GlobalTranz has been critical to our success and ability to scale as a company. We moved from contracts direct with carriers to the 3PL model in 2017, intending to improve our data, outsource some day-to-day operations, and engage a team of carrier relations to keep negotiated rates down. Not only did we receive this, but with Steve Norall’s representation and leadership, we received state-of-the-art, top-notch software solutions for transportation that we depend on today.
Our complex model of nearly 1000 drop-ship origins and 25,000 annual destinations, along with a large percentage of lift gates and services needed at delivery, makes it difficult for a normal 3PL to serve us. Noble Choice Logistics took on the challenge and not only met our expectations but has become a critical business partner in how we distribute our product. As needed, I have been able to consult with their technology leadership to find new and better ways to do things, even launching a Final Mile program to solve our need for delivery services on such a high percentage of shipments.
Every challenge has been met head-on and addressed from the transition through now, and I only foresee strengthening our partnership moving forward.”
