Denim’s freight payment system is designed for established and enterprise brokers, making their offering a substantial benefit to Turvo customers who aim to increase operational efficiencies from streamlined financials and payments.

In the report, 54% of brokers who claimed to have great carrier relationships attributed the carrier experience to using factoring to finance freight receivables and payables.

“We’re excited to launch our partnership with Denim and provide our TMS customers with the ability to automate factoring and payment processes within the Turvo Collaboration Cloud platform,” said Scott Lang, Chairman and CEO, Turvo. “The partnership brings a best of breed payment platform into our extensive partner and integration ecosystem and gives our broker customers another layer of automation and excellence in their back-office operations. The biggest gain for our customers is the experiences they can pass onto their customers and carrier networks.”
