ISOFlex, part of the Sigma Plastics Group, was in need of a new Transportation Management System (TMS) that could help the company better manage and control its logistics operations. The company's immediate need was a single interface to procure and manage both TL and LTL transportation. More specifically, LTL carrier integrations, TL contract management, and spot market brokerage access. The company had identified several ways it could substantially reduce freight costs – using volume LTL instead of TL, rate shopping across modes, newly renegotiated contract rates – but couldn’t fully realize those benefits without a TMS. As long-term thinkers, future expansions were also top of mind. Being part of a multi-location operation meant that any new TMS needed the ability to scale for broader coverage and greater efficiencies. Unfortunately, the product they initially chose was decommissioned shortly after they began implementation, leading to a renewed search for a reliable TMS.

ISOFlex selected 3G's Transportation Management System (TMS) for its commitment to enduring partnership and a 'whatever it takes' attitude. The company needed a rapid implementation timeline as it had significant cost-reduction opportunities riding on it. A TMS was required to take advantage of new contract rates and operationalize the company’s advanced knowledge of volume LTL benefits. 3G’s Smart Start program promised to have ISOFlex up and running quickly and the implementation team delivered on its commitment, bringing it online across four locations in just four weeks. The system also offers great promise for fulfilling ISOFlex’s future goals of scalability. Initially, the system went live for four locations, but future expansion discussions are already underway.
