3PL and freight arrangement
Operations systems for 3PL and freight arrangement firms in Middle Tennessee
For owner-run third-party logistics (3PL) providers, freight brokers and forwarders with 20 to 499 employees. We find where information breaks down, put a dollar figure on it, and build a daily system on the tools you already own.
What we often hear
Common problems in this industry.
- Many systems hold one piece each: transportation and warehouse software, email and spreadsheets.
- Customers ask for reporting that takes hours to build by hand.
- Load planning, dispatch and staffing are done by hand, from memory and whiteboards.
The three steps
What the three steps look like here.
Step 1: Walk the floor
We follow an order from booking to delivery and find where information waits or gets retyped.
Step 2: Build it on your tools
We connect the exports you already have, so cost and service by customer show up in one place.
Step 3: Run the cadence
Your team reviews yesterday's exceptions and today's plan in a short daily huddle.
