We are very grateful to all the people who were happy to provide us with the references below. There are many more, but we thought just a few picked at random would give you an idea of the impact SmartFreight can have -
Just a quick note to say how impressed we are with SmartFreight. Its ability to interface with our internal software has sped up our whole dispatch operation, with the added bonus of getting rid of prepaid tickets.

SmartFreight was straightforward to implement. Paul Lattimore from IFS SmartFreight bent over backwards to make sure the implementation went smoothly.
SmartFreight is an extremely user-friendly system and we rely heavily on it to for labelling, consignment notes, manifests, tracking shipments and POD's. The fact that our major carriers are using it too has streamlined our despatch operations immeasurably and cut paperwork down to the minimum.
Adrian Carr, Financial Controller, Harkness & Young Ltd, Auckland.
I can tell you that the SmartFreight system introduced at the end of last year is excellent in meeting our needs both from an operational point of view and as a reporting tool. I would also like to take the opportunity to say that you have made the implementation of the system much simpler and my staff were impressed with the support that you provided during the process.

If you are a thinking business person, you’ll realize that the only way to improve business is to recognize what you don’t do well, bite the bullet, and change something to make this better. While doing so, any savvy person would make sure that whatever you did implement was future-proof, and, ‘compatible’ with world-class standards.
Well, Surplustronics WAS just a small business, until we did realize what was holding us up, and implemented SmartFreight to fix it. We’re sure glad we did. Our business has grown as a result and I can say that if we hadn’t done it, we wouldn’t be able to cope with the looming busy season.
Actually our dispatch timeframe tightened from 2-3 days average to mostly SAME DAY. If that’s not a good enough reason to use SmartFreight then I don’t know what is.
If there’s a bottom line, then it’s this: There’s three things that make ‘SmartFreight’ work for any business with the sense to use it.
This is the absolute truth – from the time a parcel goes on the scales to being complete on the trolley is LESS than 10 seconds for an existing customer. Well done IFS for this fantastic foresight.
Rowan Holmes, Distribution Manager, Surplustronics Trading Ltd, Auckland
We have been using SmartFreight since August 2006, and run all our five carriers through it. The Cost Comparison feature has reduced our freight spend despite the increases in carrier rates, and the reports make it simple to reconcile the freight bills each month.
SmartFreight is fast and easy to use – we simply could not go back to the old days of handwriting consignment notes and attaching prepaid tickets to boxes.
Shawn King, Warehouse Manager, Northern Accessories Ltd, Auckland
Hi Paul,
Just a note to let you know that we are very happy with the SmartFreight System.
It has streamlined our business with the fast and easy way it performs in the labelling and addressing of our outwards goods. It makes the warehouse run more efficient and tracking of freight a breeze.
Thanks again for all your help.
Dave Blair, Warehouse Supervisor, Acushnet Company, Mt Maunganui
SmartFreight has been brilliant.The installation was seamless and it had the immediate effect of making our dispatch processes more efficient. Previously we had to create shipping labels on a separate system but SmartFreight does that all for us. We have only been using SmartFreight for a few months but we are already seeing a reduction in our freight costs. I would highly recommend SmartFreight to any business looking to save time and money!
