Freightquote developed a patented-technology platform to enable shippers to find competitive rates that can be compared[3] for their freight shipments, similar to that which travel websites provide. Performed online, customers input freight shipment information online, review carrier options, choose a carrier, book shipments and pay for services. The company extends this platform through API connections. E-commerce websites integrate the company's technology to provide their customers with freight cost estimating and booking capabilities.[2][4]

History

Tim Barton founded Freightquote in August 1998.[2][5]

In December 2006, Great Hill Partners signed a deal to acquire a minority interest in the company.[6]

C.H. Robinson acquisition

In early 2015, Freightquote was acquired by C.H. Robinson, a third-party logistics firm based in Eden Prairie, MN, specializing in logistics and supply chain services, including freight transportation. The acquisition connects C.H. Robinson’s global supply chain services with the strong e-commerce presence and customer base of Freightquote.[7][8][9]
