### Logistyx requires outside help to do any of these jobs. “It's a frustrating experience relying on someone else.”

-   No self-service UIs to make changes yourself
-   No connection between fragmented products
-   You must repeat changes across all instances

#### Expensive

Leaning on System Integrators means costs stack up quickly. Every time you need to make a change sounds like a cash register ringing.

#### Slow

Leaning on your company's IT team means you need to get in the queue. With staff layoffs happening everywhere, the wait for changes is long.

#### Non-Responsive

Leaning on Logistyx to help means filing a support ticket that lately isn't being responded to. After their acquisition, the support team has been cut.

#### Turn on new carriers

Every carrier service method can be turned on in a day, all that's needed are your rates.

#### Turn off carriers

Equally important are some situations where you need to immediately disable a carrier.

#### Surcharge upkeep

Our in-house TransOps team manages published and unpublished surcharges for you.

#### 8 week SLA

We offer an 8-week SLA to integrate a new carrier or service not yet on the network.

#### Zero fees

Adding a new carrier or service is always free. There are no costs no matter what.

#### All inclusive

Every carrier type, geography, mode, or cost is treated the same way in our network.

### Logistyx is a roll up of several old carrier networks which aren't integrated.

#### It takes months to add new carriers

And its not free. Any Logistyx customer looking to expand their [carrier mix](https://www.shipium.com/carriers) is met with expensive technical roadblocks that can't meet the needs of the business. System integrators are required.

#### Can't rate shop across the different libraries

Because the different carrier libraries were never merged after the roll up, if you use a carrier with one library and a carrier from a different library, you can't rate shop or date shop across them.

#### No surcharge help

Public and unpublished surcharges are not updated across the full Logistyx customer install base, which means you have to pay attention to surcharges. Shipium's in-house TransOps team does that for you.
