Verso Corporation, a paper and packaging producer, selected MercuryGate TMS after its prior provider required an upgrade. The company needed reliable performance for mills in remote locations and tight customer delivery windows. Implementation of MercuryGate and the Mojo optimization engine enabled automated load planning and routing. Results include near-zero downtime, simplified mass tendering, and the ability to handle the same freight volume with significantly fewer planners.
