How Uber Freight Saves Time and Reduces Costs with Velostics

 “At the end of the day in logistics, it’s all about saving time and money.”

That’s how Ken, an Account Executive at Uber Freight, sums up the value Velostics delivers in his daily operations. With over 11 years of experience in the logistics industry, Ken has used countless systems, but Velostics stood out for its speed, clarity, and ability to eliminate manual scheduling chaos, especially across high-volume customers like Orbis Corporation.

The Challenge

As a lead scheduler for enterprise shippers like Orbis Corporation, Ken coordinated dozens of freight movements each week across multiple warehouses. The scheduling process was manual and fragmented — requiring him to send individual emails to each facility to confirm appointments.

“I was emailing each warehouse separately… it ends up being a lot of emails. And when you need things urgently, it becomes confusing.”
— Ken, Account Executive at Uber Freight

This approach slowed operations, created bottlenecks during urgent shipments, and increased the risk of missed or delayed pickups.

The Solution

Today, Ken uses Velostics to schedule every shipment for Orbis Corporation across all warehouses through one unified platform. With shipment information pre-populated and instantly accessible, scheduling is no longer a time sink.

“Velostics has made scheduling for my customers quick, efficient, easy to do… It’s helped me save time and money.”

Ken's Favorite Features

 • Auto-filled shipment data:
“When you click the schedule button in the email, it brings you into Velostics automatically with everything already filled in.”
 • Bulk scheduling:
“You can schedule multiple shipments in a row with full info and visibility already provided.”
 • Faster, smoother operations:
“It just makes it a lot quicker, easier, much smoother when it comes to scheduling.”

The Results
Since switching to Velostics, Uber Freight has:

 • Gained complete scheduling visibility across all Orbis locations

 • Improved response times with faster pickup slot confirmation

 • Eliminated email back-and-forth, replacing manual follow-ups with one-click clarity
