InTek Freight & Logistics, a North American LSP focused on door-to-door intermodal, implemented MercuryGate TMS in 2006. The cloud platform consolidated rate shopping, capacity search, tendering, and reporting into one system, replacing multiple legacy platforms and manual dray carrier calls. Results include sustained labor reduction, faster customer response, and successful conversion of truck freight to rail.
