Custom Freight & Supply Chain Consulting

Looking for something more specialized? We provide consultative services to improve internal processes, reduce costs, and align your logistics strategy with your business goals.

 We don’t just move freight — we help you move forward.

4PL Flat-Fee
Freight Management

Go beyond the traditional brokerage model. Our 4PL solution puts your entire supply chain under one roof — without unpredictable per-load margins. We manage quoting, scheduling, tracking, and issue resolution for a flat monthly fee that creates real cost savings.

The most transparent and efficient way to manage your freight — period.

3PL Freight Brokerage

We manage your freight from pickup to delivery with a strong network of vetted carriers and real-time communication every step of the way. No guesswork, no runaround — just dependable results.

For shippers who want a broker that acts like a partner, not a middleman.

The 4PL Advantage

At Fortio Solutions, we offer true 4PL (Fourth-Party Logistics) solutions designed to simplify your supply chain, save you money, and free your team to focus on what matters most.

1. 3PL vs. 4PL — What’s the Difference?

Feature                          3PL (Third-Party Logistics)                                      4PL (Fourth-Party Logistics)

Role                              Manages freight on a per-load basis                     Oversees the entire supply chain

Focus                           Moves individual shipments                                 Manages people, processes, technology, and carriers

Margin-Based?            Yes — charges per load with markups.                   No — flat-rate or fully transparent fee structure

Carrier Selection         Often dictated by margin opportunity.                  Based on best fit for service and cost

Internal Staff Load       Still requires your team to coordinate logistics.   We act as your remote freight department

Visibility & Control      Limited to loads handled by the broker.                Centralized view of all freight across all providers

2. The 4PL Advantage

  • Data-driven decisions with consolidated reporting

  • Fewer handoffs, fewer surprises, and full transparency
