Summary:

Company Background:

Since 1978, the Broussard group has been helping businesses by executing our vision: bring to market a solution to manage, control, and lower freight costs. Broussard Logistics, based in Houston, TX, is a leading non-asset based third party transportation service (3PL) provider to businesses throughout North America.

While Broussard began by delivering timely and accurate services to client companies who regularly ship freight, our vision of solving supply chain issues for clients fueled our growth. Our first and primary service was audit, payment and reporting of freight invoices. That’s important because that service gave us an immense amount of market intelligence and data about shipping in all modes of transportation, and all lanes across North America.

As the transportation industry progressed, we continued to develop relevant technology solutions. An early start and longevity in the industry has enabled us to develop an integrated approach that provides logistics business consulting and enhances the information technology (IT) effectiveness. Now we serve over 1,000 clients, through three primary divisions, in a variety of different industries. Our collective clientele gives us the leverage of nearly $1 billion in buying power, as well as second -to-none market intelligence. With that buying power Broussard clients gain access to negotiated discounts on all facets of shipping, freight, parcel and more. Broussard clients are continually informed of leading-edge logistics technology and supply chain best practices that can help drive down to the bottom line.
