Why Smart Shippers Attend ECA MarketPlace

To Find the Right Carrier Partners

Choosing the right final-mile carriers requires a comprehensive approach. By aligning delivery needs with carrier capabilities, leveraging technology, ensuring reliability, and focusing on customer experience, shippers can make informed decisions that enhance their operations and strengthen customer loyalty.

ECA, A Delivery Industry Alliance, helps make this evaluation and selection process as efficient as possible. The annual ECA MarketPlace provides shippers with a comprehensive national carrier member directory, combined with data-driven, smart algorithms to assist in matching the right carriers with their specific needs.


Shippers looking to improve their final mile delivery strategy have a unique opportunity each year at the ECA MarketPlace.  This annual event is one of the most efficient and impactful ways for shippers to meet face-to-face with a wide range of qualified carrier delivery companies from across North America, all in one location. 

A key advantage of ECA MarketPlace? It’s the personalized, one-on-one meetings with carriers that align with shippers’ geographic and 

niche service area needs. 

To Get 48 Carrier Meetings in 48 Hours

Rather than spending weeks or months coordinating virtual introductions or site visits, by using ECA’s data-driven, smart matching algorithms, shippers can accomplish in two days what might otherwise take an entire quarter.


These meetings allow for meaningful conversations around service capabilities, delivery coverage, technology integration, performance metrics, etc. Shippers can ask detailed questions, get a feel for the carrier’s company culture, and assess whether there’s a strong operational fit, all in person. 


To Stay Current on Industry Expertise

Attending the ECA MarketPlace gives shippers valuable insights into delivery trends, regional market nuances, and innovations shaping the last mile sector. With industry experts, peers, and solution providers all in attendance, it’s also a chance to network, share best practices, and discover potential partnerships. 


For shippers who want to strengthen their carrier network, improve delivery performance, or simply stay ahead in a rapidly evolving logistics landscape, the ECA MarketPlace is a strategic, time-saving investment. 


It’s not just a trade show—it’s a matchmaking hub for building lasting logistics relationships.
