3PL platform Delivers Visibility, Tracking, Exception Management and Analytics

Challenge

ALS customers needed a streamlined approach to transportation management and optimization, with robust capabilities around automation, exception management, and clear shipment visibility. The company chose 3Gtms because of its broad shipment visibility and its proven ability to quickly connect with carriers.

Solution

“Our number-one goal for implementation was a very aggressive and quick process,” said Josh Cameon, systems engineer at ALS and project manager for the 3Gtms implementation. “We knew that database design is a really important factor and a big differentiator. The architecture had to fit with our systems. We emphasized that in our search, and that’s why we chose 3Gtms.”

The 3Gtms transportation solution, 3G-TM, is the only TMS powerful enough to handle the most complicated projects, yet intuitive enough to be used by all transportation professionals. ALS chose to power Edge, its 3PL platform, with 3G-TM.

Edge fulfills ALS customer needs by providing industry-leading, cloud-based technology; it’s powerful enough to handle the most complicated projects, yet intuitive enough to be used by all levels of users. With 3G-TM as its backbone, Edge uses sophisticated optimization algorithms, actual rate costing, and a comprehensive set of data points to determine and deliver the optimal plan. It manages the full order-to- cash process in real time and within a single system.
