挑战
Bestway Freight Solutions, a high-growth 3PL, was looking to improve its technology and expand its LTL business for continued growth. The company had outgrown its transportation management system (TMS), which was causing it to miss out on opportunities. The company needed a TMS that would allow faster execution on each load each day, enable rapid carrier onboarding, and provide customers with instant access to their accounts. The company's growth ambitions required the ability to serve its customers' TL and LTL needs. Winning both award types from its largest customers would allow Bestway to move from a TL-LTL split of around 95/5 to 50/50. Executives also knew that growth through headcount alone was a risky proposition, so a fundamental technology change was needed.

解决方案
Bestway turned to 3Gtms for a solution. With its superior customer support, easy carrier onboarding, and industry-leading options for adding LTL, the solution was ideal. By leveraging 3G’s most nimble implementation program, Bestway had its brokerage software up and running within a month. Also important for a growth-minded company: The option of adding managed transportation and/or parcel in the future with no additional implementations required. Within a few months and no headcount increase, Bestway started to feel like a bigger brokerage. The first noticeable difference was productivity: Saving even one minute per transaction essentially provided brokers with 10% more “business time” per day. Faster turnaround times and instant Bestway account access further improved customer experience.

Remote Temperature Monitoring of Perishable Goods Saves Money
RMONI was facing temperature monitoring challenges in a cold chain business. A cold chain must be established and maintained to ensure goods have been properly refrigerated during every step of the process, making temperature monitoring a critical business function. Manual registration practice can be very costly, labor intensive and prone to mistakes.

Case Study
Vehicle Fleet Analytics
Organizations frequently implement a maintenance strategy for their fleets of vehicles using a combination of time and usage based maintenance schedules. While effective as a whole, time and usage based schedules do not take into account driving patterns, environmental factors, and sensors currently deployed within the vehicle measuring crank voltage, ignition voltage, and acceleration, all of which have a significant influence on the overall health of the vehicle.In a typical fleet, a large percentage of road calls are related to electrical failure, with battery failure being a common cause. Battery failures result in unmet service agreement levels and costly re-adjustment of scheduled to provide replacement vehicles. To reduce the impact of unplanned maintenance, the transportation logistics company was interested in a trial of C3 Vehicle Fleet Analytics.
