The Challenge
Corsicana Bedding, a producer of quality mattresses, was facing challenges with its load communications. The company was dealing with complex and numerous communications around loads, which was becoming cumbersome. For instance, some loads had as many as 20 emails going back and forth. This was making it difficult for the company to keep track of what was covered. As a result, Corsicana was seeking a transportation management system (TMS) that could increase automation and streamline operations. The company wanted a TMS that would enable new business initiatives.
