As food logistics become more complex, a TMS is more important to food companies than ever before. In this episode of Talking Logistics with Adrian Gonzalez, our own JP Wiggins discusses the newest TMS capabilities, including continuous pool optimization; the #1 most important TMS capability according to our customers; and how you can make the case for a TMS to your colleagues in 60 seconds or less.
You can’t build a TMS that addresses every constraint and possibility, so the key is to let logistics professionals get creative with the software. Continuous pool optimization allows for just that: It allows for a pre-determined or dynamic routing of orders through a consolidation network. Organizations that leverage continuous pool optimization are achieving more freight savings while honoring pickup and delivery constraints, improving customer service and reducing distribution costs.
Watch the full discussion between 3Gtms CEO Mitch Weseley and Talking Logistics’ Adrian Gonzalez on the benefits of continuous pool optimization.
Pool distribution isn’t new, but it’s seen a resurgence of interest thanks to modern, flexible TMS software that takes the hard work out of pool optimization. Learn how 3Gtms simplifies pool distribution and allows logistics planners (rather than engineers) to plan using real costs and service times.
The hype around blockchain is subsiding, and in its wake the transportation industry is taking a more serious look at how blockchain could be leveraged to improve operations.
In this interview at Talking Logistics, J.P. Wiggins discusses the positive impacts blockchain could have on visibility and efficiency – especially for mom-and-pop carriers. More than a half-million carriers have six trucks or less and don’t have modern ways of tracking freight with a TMS. Blockchain could address this huge gap by providing ways for small carriers to improve visibility and share data with transportation management systems and others.
Check out this engaging interview to learn more about blockchain’s possibilities for carriers, the biggest hurdles to making that a reality, and how this shift could positively impact the GDP of the entire United States.
FreightWaves’ Transparency19 was an engaging and lively event, and we were honored to tell our 3Gtms story in front of 1,000 industry leaders!
In this seven-minute demo, we focus on rating, process automation and optimization. Chris Taurence walks viewers through entering a quote and getting rates, the configurability of our Load Management Workspace, and the automation of 3Gtms that includes automatically moving on to the next best carrier if the first choice declines a load. Our optimization capabilities take into account all real-world constraints to build loads that you can actually execute. And as conditions inevitably change, our embedded optimization engine continuously shows you the effects of those changes on the routes and whether there are new routing options to consider.

Amazon Brokerage and Uber Freight are not bit players; they’re having a real impact on how freight is moved. In this interview with Talking Logistics, JP Wiggins discusses how Amazon Brokerage is locking up truckload capacity and Uber Freight is focused on small and mid-sizes carriers. These moves are changing expectations when it comes to service, speed of payments, visibility, and the role of technology in logistics.

War, hurricanes, droughts, energy shortages, food shortages, the list goes on. Many are the major challenges facing today’s supply chains. Can understanding the psychology of both supply chains and the modern consumer help organizations ride the wave of economic uncertainty?
