Hibbett Sports, a 1,082-store athletic retailer, implemented MercuryGate TMS in 2012 to centralize transportation data, improve inbound visibility, and support ongoing store growth. The system replaced fragmented vendor routing, Excel tracking, and homegrown tools with consolidated load planning, rate comparison, and Bid Board functionality. Results include over $1 million in cumulative savings and a 30% reduction in inbound freight costs within one year.
