Freight consolidation is the pallet-focused assembly of different inbound shipments into a unified outbound load (by consignee/route/PO) to reduce $/mile and accelerate turnaround. FREITTY synchronizes unloading, count verification, repacking, and release via Platform-Guided Workflow Gates.
This captures time-stamped photo proof and POD (where available) for a verifiable digital chain-of-custody. The service is seamlessly integrated with other warehouse services such as storage, repacking, and transportation services (P&D, Drayage, Hub-to-Hub).
Digital workflows with clear gates, event timers, and mandatory photo checkpoints ensure data-verified accuracy and repeatable results.
Streamlined schedules and direct-to- Photo log (in/out, GPS & timestamps) and POD (where available) provide clear evidence and significantly reduce disputes. loading reduce delays.
Combine consolidation with Storage, Drayage, P&D, or Hub-to-Hub in a single request (booking, docs, billing).
Booking a time slot ensures a predictable start time and timely release, protecting your delivery schedules.
Expertise in pallet assembly: optimizing height, securing (straps/wrap), labeling, and adherence to loading planograms.
Status and documents available via the platform (dashboard access when enabled).
How Our Consolidation Process Works.
01
Request
Share inbound BOLs/packing lists, pallet counts/heights, and consolidation rules (consignee/route/PO). Schedule inbound windows.
02
Digital Check-In
We assign a door, verify counts, and capture mandatory photos via Workflow Gates.
03
Pallet-Build & Secure
Consolidation, re-palletizing, labeling, wrap/strap; photo log captured throughout the process.
04
Outbound Release
Load outbound; provide eDocs and final photo proof (POD where applicable); optional hand-off to Storage/P&D/Hub-to-Hub.
LTL → FTL Optimization
Convert multiple LTL shipments into one full truckload to reduce cost per mile.
Regional/DC Combining
Group orders going to the same DC or region to simplify delivery.
Hub-and-Spoke Distribution
Collect freight at a central hub and release to planned routes.
Inbound Merge-in-Transit
Merge inbound materials before delivery to manufacturing or a DC.
Fewer Touches, Fewer Claims
Minimize handling to lower damage risk and chargebacks.
Time/Capacity Constraints
Consolidate to meet dock windows and driver HOS limits.
Pallet-Level Consolidation
(B2B unit)
Build by destination, consignee, PO, or route.
Temperature-Controlled
Transfer
Reefer trailer handoff or cold-zone staging where available.
Connected Transport
Handoffs
Instant handoff to P&D / Hub-to-Hub / Drayage within one order (One Ops Desk).
Short-Term Staging
Hold in cross-dock zones to build routes or align hub-to-hub timing.
Axle-Aware Loading Plans
Balanced placement for legal weights; plans on request.
Oversized/Irregular
Handled as space/equipment allow; confirm at booking
Floor-Load → Pallet
Convert loose freight to palletized; wrap/strap to spec.
Restack & Repack
Re-palletize, replace damaged pallets, label/re-label.
Availability
Availability varies by location; special equipment/supplies are pre-approved and billed separately; see the Location Card.

SLA & Documentation
15/30/60 SLA from check-in, 8 windows, 60-min cutoff rule, and when timers pause.
What’s in the digital photo log; ePOD where available.
Insurance & Liability
We independently provide cargo insurance in accordance with the standard industry practice, where coverage is determined based on the value-to-weight ratio of the shipment.
FREITTY is not an insurer; claims follow carrier/warehouse policies.
Have Questions? We've Got Answers!
01
Use it when multiple inbound shipments must depart as one outbound load to optimize cost/time, align appointments, and reduce damage. If you don’t provide rules, we propose a standard plan for approval.
02
Inbound BOLs and packing lists, any SKU/PO mapping (if applicable), plus your consolidation rules (destination/sequence/weight/height limits). Provide label files if you have them.
03
Platform-Guided Workflow Gates (Inbound → Verify → Build → Outbound) with mandatory count checks and photo checkpoints create a time-stamped digital audit trail.
04
Yes — palletized, floor-loaded (with palletization), mixed sizes/partials; capacity depends on real-time space/equipment and complexity of your rules.
05
Yes — short-term staging/storage with chain-of-custody; fees apply. (Long-term cold storage only if explicitly listed.)
06
Where available: transfer/staging in refrigerated trailers or designated cold areas. Check the Location Card for availability.
07
A digital photo log (in/out with GPS & timestamps), verified count sheets/labels, an updated BOL, and POD where available.
08
Based on handling (time/per-pallet/CWT), add-ons (labeling, palletization, repack), after- hours, and pass-throughs; you see an itemized quote before approval.
Details vary by location; quotes show all accessorials before you confirm.
