TMS Solution Increases Automation and Streamlines Operations

Challenge
As communications around loads became more complex and numerous, Corsicana sought a transportation management system (TMS) to enable new business initiatives that would increase automation and streamline operations. “For example, some loads had as many as 20 emails going back and forth, making sure we knew what was covered,” explained Michael Strickland, director of logistics at Corsicana Bedding. “It was cumbersome and we needed a TMS to help streamline that.”

Solution
Strickland soon ran into the challenge of selecting the right TMS for Corsicana based on the countless offerings on the market. “Today the term “TMS” has a broad meaning, so it is important to take the time to figure out what it means for your organization,” said Strickland. “It is more important than ever to define what problems you need to solve first and then identify the potential vendors that are capable of meeting those needs.”

Ultimately, the company selected the 3Gtms 3G-TM system, which stood out because of its flexibility, applicability to the manufacturer’s size and needs, and the expert reputation of Mitch Weseley, CEO of 3Gtms.
