MODE Global, a prominent name in logistics, has embarked on a significant partnership with Highway, a leading provider of Carrier Identity® and fraud prevention solutions. This partnership seeks to strengthen MODE Global's security measures and boost operational efficiency, targeting enhanced integrity within its carrier network.
Streamlining Operations through Partnership
The collaboration between MODE Global and Highway comes as a response to the increasing challenge of fraud within the logistics sector. This growing threat necessitates the use of innovative tools and methods to ensure safer operations. By engaging Highway's advanced fraud prevention tools along with its robust carrier sourcing capabilities, MODE Global aims to enhance the integrity of its network and smartly expand its carrier base.
Improving Risk Mitigation
“Given the rising instances of fraud in our industry, we are thrilled to announce our new partnership with Highway,” said Lance Malesh, president and CEO of MODE Global. “This alliance will perfect the carrier sourcing and vetting components of our technology ecosystem by integrating the best providers in the logistics field.”
This partnership is set to enhance MODE Global’s carrier onboarding process by leveraging Highway’s centralized platform. This platform provides actionable data and fosters improved communication and efficient collaboration, helping MODE Global to mitigate risks more effectively while enhancing access to often underutilized carrier capacity.
Enhanced Security Measures for Customers
Through this strategic collaboration, customers of MODE Global will experience improved security for their shipments. The heightened visibility during the onboarding process for carriers allows for greater scrutiny, significantly reducing the risk of fraudulent activities.
Innovative Load Lock Functionality
The 'Load Lock' feature from Highway presents an additional layer of protection. This innovative tool enables real-time identification of fraudulent actors during the load booking phase, designed specifically to combat the rising tide of fraud in logistics. Bo Carlton, senior vice president of customer success at Highway, expressed enthusiasm for the collaboration, stating, “Addressing issues of fraud and ensuring network integrity are paramount. We’re excited to partner with MODE Global to create a safer, more efficient environment for our carriers, agents, and customers.”
Optimizing Carrier Sourcing Efforts
For agents and operators, Highway’s unique sourcing tools provide invaluable insights into potential carrier partnerships outside MODE's existing network. This strategic approach not only ensures proper carrier selection but also actively reduces risks associated with transportation and ultimately enhances operational efficiency, safeguarding customer freight and optimizing costs.
Additionally, Highway has already proven its effectiveness by uncovering fraudulent carriers that eluded MODE's previous fraud prevention protocols. These critical insights allow MODE Global to proactively block unauthorized carriers, thereby maintaining the integrity of its network and mitigating potential risks.
