TMS customers get powerful API solutions to optimize the LTL shipment lifecycle


SHELTON, Conn., March 29, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- 3Gtms, Inc., a global provider of Tier 1 transportation management software, announced it has expanded its partnership with SMC3 to offer the SMC3 RateWare® XL, CarrierConnect® XL and CzarLite® solutions to its customers. Fully integrated into the 3Gtms transportation management system (TMS), these API solutions give customers more accurate and timely rating and transit-time information, as well as broader pricing visibility.

With RateWare XL, 3Gtms customers have a durable rating engine and library of more than 3,000 data modules to simplify LTL pricing and eliminate the costly mistakes of sourcing, programming and maintaining data from multiple carriers.

CarrierConnect XL compiles real-time transit times and service detail from more than 300 leading national, super-regional and regional carriers across North America, helping customers make the most informed choice for LTL shipments. 3Gtms customers using CzarLite have a flexible decision-support tool to assure total pricing visibility and achieve optimal shipping agreements, whether goods are shipping in the U.S., Canada or Mexico.

Wiggins, vice president of logistics at 3Gtms. “With partners like SMC3, customers get more visibility, more accurate data, and more options for their specific LTL needs – all integrated directly into our TMS.”
