Overview

International Steel Fabrication (ISFAB) is a leader in structural and architectural steel. Wilson, Cartage’s AI logistics coordinator, is ISFAB’s only logistics coordinator.

ISFAB moved 100% of its freight management to Wilson and Cartage.

The challenge

  • No internal logistics staff, so freight slowed operations down.
  • Brokers added cost and slowed shipments.
  • ISFAB wanted direct carrier relationships, better rate control and better visibility.
  • The goal was to stay lean while growing.
