Minnesota-based KTI Inc. Upgrades To TransCore's New 3sixty Logistics Suite: Fully Integrated Broker TMS Provides Competitive Advantage
Keeping a competitive edge is a passion for Alan Weiner, owner of KTI, one of the country's leading freight brokers. Since its inception in 1997, KTI has consistently invested in technology to enhance efficiency and customer service. Most recently, KTI upgraded from TransCore's UNIX-based TMS to the new 3sixty Logistics Suite for Brokers.
"The new Logistics Suite seamlessly integrates the TMS components, allowing us to create the system that is perfect for our unique needs," said Weiner. "TransCore engineers efficiency, productivity and profitability into their products. In my book, that's a great partnership."
KTI, a TransCore customer since 2001, utilizes several of the products and services from the 3sixty platform:
- The Logistics Suite for Brokers acts as the robust control center
- Freight Match, powered by the DAT network, helps keep KTI's 15,000 contracted carriers loaded
- CarrierWatch monitoring helps ensure all carriers are fully vetted and legal prior to contracting
- The Imaging Module allows for electronic POD, expediting payment for services
"Since working with TransCore, we've grown from 5 to 30 users. This meant we had to have a system that is flexible enough to grow with us, but robust enough to give us a business advantage," added Weiner. "We've seen our productivity increase by 35 percent since we upgraded to the new system."
According to Steve Blair, general manager, Operations Management for TransCore, "KTI is a perfect example of a customer that is maximizing all that our platform has to offer. The suite saves brokers time – and in this business time is money."
