Associated Global Systems' Incoming Freight Program is designed for purchasing managers and people responsible for incoming shipments that need delivery on time, damage-free and at the lowest possible cost.

AGS will give you total control on all your incoming shipments from suppliers in any zip code in America - and 204 countries worldwide. And because the program is web-based, you can track the status on any shipment from any supplier around the clock, 365 days a year!

We'd like you to be on the receiving end of Associated's Incoming Freight Services.

How it works:

We keep control of your suppliers - you won't have to.

For all of the vendors/suppliers you wish to be in the program, we capture any special requirements that you have which are automatically entered into our system, i.e., you may want to have a call or e-mail the minute a vendor ships, or verification on a level of service to receive the best price, etc. These records serve as the blueprint for AGS to monitor your requirements. Revisions can be made easily by a call or e-mail.

You can also send us an electronic purchase order copy that you send your vendors, and we can automatically monitor and track when the orders are shipped. You will know the moment the pickup order is received by our local office from your vendor.

You will know the exact cost.

AGS gives you a specific freight tariff that covers every level of time definite door-to-door service. Whether you need the lowest possible rate on a surface shipment or same day air delivery for an emergency, you will know the exact cost - always.

We'll assign you a personal expediter.

AGS will assign you a personal expediter at our national call center that will work for you and monitor all of your incoming shipments to make sure they conform to the standards you have set for each supplier. Their responsibility is to see that your interests are served day and night, 7 days a week. Your personal expediter. - an additional expert who works for you - at no additional cost.
