Flock Freight Announces New API Integration for Instant FlockDirect® Spot Rates

Integration to save users hours on workflow inefficiencies and thousands on shipping costs

ENCINITAS, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Flock Freight, the only FreightTech company creating a smarter, more sustainable supply chain by pooling freight at scale, announced today that shippers can now access instant FlockDirect® spot rates through its latest API integration, directly on the Oracle® Transportation Management (OTM) native platform.¹

Flock Freight's cutting-edge FlockDirect offering harnesses the power of artificial intelligence and machine learning to revolutionize shared truckload (STL) shipments. By intelligently pooling diverse-sized freight, FlockDirect moves shippers’ goods along direct terminal-free routes, delivering lower costs while providing more secure delivery with minimal damage.

By allowing Flock and Oracle’s platforms to communicate in near real-time via an API connection, the Oracle OTM integration enables shippers to:

• Get instant spot rates on Flock’s efficient, cost-saving FlockDirect offering tailored to their freight size without leaving OTM’s interface
• Streamline workflows by tendering orders without visiting multiple platforms, manually calling or emailing, or waiting to hear back on a quote
• Gain better control, flexibility, and holistic visibility over their operation by accessing more service options and managing it all from one place
• Effortlessly reduce CO2e emissions by up to 40% each time freight is pooled with STL
