Applicable Industries	Electrical Grids Transportation
Applicable Functions	Logistics & Transportation Procurement
Use Cases	Last Mile Delivery Transportation Simulation
Services	System Integration
Challenge	SmartWay Logistics, a 4PL company operating throughout Europe, was facing challenges with its existing Transportation Management System (TMS). The system was underdeveloped and unable to meet the growing market demands. The limited automation capabilities of the system resulted in employees spending excessive time on manual, repetitive processes. The company also struggled with poor visibility and optimization capabilities, which hindered their ability to deliver efficient, cost-effective services. The lack of a robust TMS was affecting their competitive edge in the market. SmartWay Logistics was in need of a new TMS that could enhance automation, speed up integrations, broaden visibility, and strengthen its competitive position. Read More
About Customer	SmartWay Logistics is a 4PL company providing logistics services throughout Europe. The company was seeking to streamline its operations by maximizing the automation of its order entering and handling. However, its existing TMS platform was underdeveloped and couldn’t keep up with market demands. The company was spending too much time on manual, repetitive processes due to limited automation capabilities. In addition, poor visibility and optimization capabilities were hampering efforts to deliver the most efficient, cost-effective services in the market. The company was in need of a new TMS that would improve automation, speed up integrations, broaden visibility and strengthen its competitive edge. Read More
Solution	SmartWay Logistics opted for the 3Gtms transportation management system, 3G-TM, despite considering larger TMS companies with a longer presence in Europe. The decision was influenced by 3G-TM’s robust functionality, the freedom to configure the system to fit specific needs, and 3Gtms’ partnership approach. The 3G-TM system uses sophisticated optimization algorithms and a comprehensive set of data points to determine and deliver the best plan that can be realistically executed. It manages the full order-to-cash process in real time and within a single system. The system is powerful enough to handle the most complicated projects, yet intuitive enough to be used by all transportation professionals. With the implementation of 3G-TM, SmartWay Logistics was able to simplify its order processing and make significant gains in efficiency and cost. Read More Log in to view content
