Hi,

This past week, we participated in an interview session with Adrian Gonzalez of Logistics Viewpoints. He was asking about the business value of “Flexibility” as related to TMS technology. As part of the podcast, he also interviewed Kyle Krug, director of client solutions for TMSi, a leading national 3PL and a customer of Transite’s.

The interview was well-conducted, with Adrian drawing key points from the participants. His interest and expertise regarding this issue is seen in numerous past columns.

One point that was called out in Adrian’s column was a comment from Kyle, who lead the TMS selection process for his company.

“The first thing we learned from experience is that TMS from a shipper’s standpoint and TMS from a 3PL’s standpoint are very different,” he said. “So, if you are a 3PL looking for a TMS you really need to make sure the [solution] is able to service the extra layers of needs [you have as a 3PL]…That seems kind of a simple thing, but it’s really not, there’s a lot to it, so I would really make sure you take that angle.”
