MercuryGate TMS leverages transportation across multiple customers, reducing costs and maximizing profits. Regardless of mode, costs can be appropriately allocated to each customer’s shipment making sure that margins are determined. 3PL’s can use different business models, such as buy/sell, gain share, management fee, and brokerage, all with the MercuryGate TMS.
