RedStone Logistics, a 3PL offering transportation management across parcel, LTL, truckload, expedited and air, outgrew its broker-oriented TMS as client size and complexity increased. The legacy system could not scale and its vendor planned to exit the 3PL market. RedStone selected 3Gtms for its order-centric design, optimization depth, lower total cost of ownership and self-configuration capabilities, enabling faster implementations and differentiated services for enterprise clients in e-commerce, automotive and freight.

Key takeaways

Legacy TMS lacked scalability and 3PL support, prompting vendor switch

3Gtms reduced new-customer onboarding from 10-12 weeks to a few weeks

Advanced optimization handled multi-stop truckload and pool distribution scenarios

Self-configuration and lower TCO preserved margins while serving complex clients

Health Check reviews and vendor support improved internal processes and execution
