Lanetix Announces LxRoadFreight - The First CRM Suite Built to Increase

Gross Margin for the Domestic Freight Market

Built by the leading logistics CRM provider, LxRoadFreight gives mid-sized trucking and freight
brokerages an out-of-the-box software solution to manage spot quote and contracted opportunities,
increase utilization, and streamline carrier relationships, thus improving operating margin and
boosting profitability.

San Francisco, CA, July 24, 2018 --(PR.com)-- Lanetix today announced LxRoadFreight: the first CRM
suite exclusively developed for the domestic freight market, including asset-owning trucking firms and
freight brokerages. The comprehensive and affordable out-of-the-box software suite brings Global 2000
CRM to growing transportation companies.

Domestic freight brokers are facing a highly competitive market to balance shipper demands with carrier
capacity, while juggling the predictability of long-term contracted rates with the traditionally more
profitable spot market. Similarly, asset-owning trucking carriers seek to increase utilization, prioritize and
win the most profitable RFP's, and retain drivers while holding shippers accountable to committed
volumes.

Brian Everett, President of the Transportation Marketing and Sales Association (TMSA), a trade group
representing thousands of commercial leaders in the domestic freight market, states, “Too often, trucking
firms have had to make choices when it came to evaluating software. Do we focus on automating the spot
market or contracted rates? Do we use technology to manage our shipper accounts or prioritize the
carriers? How can we apply our customer retention strategy to driver retention? Lanetix solves for the
complexity of the industry with a beautiful user interface that feels more like Instagram than a CRM.”

Introducing LxRoadFreight
Until today's announcement, the domestic freight market has had two options: hire an expensive
consultant to customize one-size-fits-all CRMs or rely on a mix of individual productivity tool such as
spreadsheets and email. With LxRoadFreight trucking companies and freight brokerage firms with as few
as five employees can take advantage of the same powerful, cloud-based CRM software as
market-leading multinationals:

- Increase Gross Margin with CRM: Transportation-industry specific CRM functionality including
shipper accounts, carrier accounts, trucks, drivers, dispatchers, O-D pairs, RFP's, SLAs, best-in-class
operational processes for a shippers' first 90 days, damage awareness workflows, exception management,
driver retention and carrier on-boarding, QBRs and off-boarding.

- Track and Forecast Volume, Revenue and Profitability: Data analytics and rich out-of-the-box reports to
track and forecast volumes, revenue, margin with embedded NMFTA class codes.

- Win the Most Profitable RFPs: Robust automations help qualify RFPs based on risk, winnability and fit;
recommend relevant topics and location-based heat maps.

- Streamline Carrier Relationships: Carrier Relationship Management to nurture relationships with
dispatchers, on-board carriers and streamline the carrier QBR process.

- Leverage Mobile App to Manage Exceptions: Mobile app to log incidents in the truck and on the dock
to reduce exceptions, accelerate the claims process, and improve profitability while increasing in-the-field
sales productivity.

- Lower Your Total Cost of Ownership: Out-of-the-box functionality with workflow processes
exclusively for the transportation industry come without expensive data storage fees, API governor limits,
or customization from outside third-party consultants or overburdened IT staff.

“In North America alone, there are over 117,000 trucking carriers and freight brokers that have struggled
with using CRM's built for discrete manufacturers, not domestic freight service providers,” explained
John Golob, President of Lanetix. “LxRoadFreight is built for their business and can be used immediately
with a swipe of a credit card, without hiring expensive consultants or involving IT.”

Lanetix also announced a partnership with 3Gtms, the fastest growing Tier 1 TMS provider. “We are
delighted to welcome Lanetix into our partner program,” said Chuck Fuerst, Vice President of Marketing
for 3Gtms. “Our partnership with Lanetix will bring the best of cloud-based innovation together to
streamline front-office processes with operational back-office visibility and automation.”
