Transportation Management Integration Grows into Innovative Partnership for Leading 3PL Provider

Case Study

As a third party logistics partner for pharmaceutical, life science, retail and consumer products companies, MD Logistics knows the value of accuracy.

From its inception in 1996, the company has had one mission: delivering the Right material, in the Right condition, to the Right place, at the Right time.

“We were evaluating transportation management systems (TMS), Agile Network being one of them,” Jonathan Francis, System Analyst at Tippmann Group/Interstate Warehousing/Tippmann Construction

As they reached the final phases of the vendor selection process, integration of transportation IT and warehouse IT became a deciding factor.

“We were looking for a partner to help us integrate Agile TMS with our JDA (formerly RedPrairie, now part of Blue Yonder) warehouse management system (WMS),” Jon says.

“Our important question was, how could we get Agile Network’s Shipping TMS to integrate into the JDA WMS How could we make it work to fit our operations?”

Agile Network suggested that the MD Logistics team speak with Accelogix President Seth Patin.

Seth’s experienced consulting team had worked with Agile Network at another 3PL site where they had implemented Agile TMS. In the initial half-hour conversation, Seth discussed a number of topics related to implementation of the Agile TMS solution.

“The most impressive thing about working with Accelogix was being able to bounce ideas off of them and not being limited by a standard vendorclient relationship where the vendor calls the shots.” – Jim Hepp, Director of Strategic Development and Planning, MDL
