About FreightSnap
How FreightSnap Started
In 2012, the founders built a software product that utilized Google Earth to measure rooftops, yards, and outdoor walls for roofing siding and windows. We started running pilots to use this software in the home improvement industry, to see if we could get some feedback and traction. At the same time, they applied for a U.S. Patent, which was later granted on the software technology. During that process, some executives within the logistics industry caught wind of the technology and inquired as to its potential use cases on freight docks. They identified that the industry was quickly moving toward density which is a combination of cubic feet and weight and not just weight and class as the main component for pricing of shipments and that tools were needed to efficiently measure palletized freight on cross docks, shippers distribution centers, and within international freight forwarding operations.
It was then that we pivoted and started to build a system that would measure pallets using smartphones but quickly realized that there was a need for higher capacity dimensioning. After seeing some laser products that were being used in the industry, we got the idea to utilize infrared technology as a lower-cost alternative to expensive legacy laser products utilized for automated pallet dimensioning, and in 2013, FreightSnap was born.
Where FreightSnap is Today
FreightSnap’s mission is to create affordable disruptive solutions that automate legacy manual operations, thereby providing enhanced productivity and scale to a larger segment of the logistics industry. People like doing business with us because we take a different approach. Implementing Dimensioning solutions successfully requires understanding the process of your customer and being able to mold your solution in a way that doesn’t diminish the quality of the product but enhances the productivity of your customer. That flexibility has made FreightSnap the leader in pallet dimensioning solutions in North America. All the products measure according to NTEP Certification, but not all products are productive without a significant investment in time and effort in conjunction with the customer. That is the secret sauce, and big differentiator. Price is great and we offer a solution that has a ton of value, but productivity and a successful implementation are what makes these projects notable.
