DAT Solutions Executive, Bert Goo, Joins AscendTMS As Executive Vice President Of Partnerships.

Industry leader will help take TMS software to the masses

Tampa, Florida - Monday, November 18th, 2019

InMotion Global, Inc. announced today that Bert Goo, one of the logistics industry's most recognizable names and well-known executives, has joined AscendTMS, the world's most popular and number one rated transportation management software (TMS) company, as Executive Vice President of Partnerships.


Bert spent over 18 years at DAT Solutions, helping to steer them to industry dominance in load matching, freight rate services, fleet compliance, and the formation of the industry's first and only freight futures market.

At AscendTMS, Bert will oversee all partnership operations and the channel marketing program, working closely with Tim Higham, AscendTMS' founder and CEO.

Tim Higham, president and CEO of InMotion Global, Inc. said, "Bert was the proverbial executive gatekeeper at DAT, and he knows almost every CEO and leader in the logistics space. He's one of the most well-known and well-liked operational executives in logistics today, holding immense credibility and respect for what he's done at DAT in his almost two decades of loyal service there. Bert could literally have gone anywhere he wanted in logistics - so we're truly honored that he chose AscendTMS as his new long-term home."

Bert Goo stated, "While at DAT I closely watched AscendTMS grow quickly over several years. They've become the de-facto leader in the cloud TMS space for the 90% of the logistics market that's been woefully underserved by existing TMS technology. During that journey, I've seen AscendTMS become highly profitable, become the number one rated TMS software by real TMS users, and they've become the standard bearer as the lowest cost, most powerful, cloud TMS technology available to the masses. I'm truly excited to work closely with the many existing AscendTMS partners to develop powerful programs for them that drive immense value for all parties, and to help move this huge industry toward a more digital future."

Higham continued, "I encourage the many existing AscendTMS partners, and any new potential partners, to personally reach out to Bert to welcome him to the AscendTMS family. We want to work closely with those industry leaders that share our clear vision of a digitally connected logistics market."

Australian supermarket chain rolls out AI-powered grocery carts

Grocery shoppers in Australia will soon be able to zip in and out of the store in record time, bypassing the lines for cashiers or self-checkout kiosks altogether. They can just walk in, make their selections, and walk out with their bags in hand.

The secret to this express shopping experience is the “Caper Cart,” an AI (artificial intelligence)-powered smart trolley from San Francisco-based Instacart. In its first deployment in the Asia Pacific (APAC) region, the system is being tested by Coles Supermarkets, a food and beverage retailer with more than 1,800 grocery and liquor stores throughout the country.

How green is your glue?

If you’re looking to make the packaging process more eco-friendly, the obvious place to start is with the box itself. And that’s exactly what Salt Lake City-based Packsize did when it made its initial foray into sustainable packaging back in 2002. That year, the company launched its first product, an innovative on-demand packaging system designed to reduce cardboard waste (and the need for filler material) by creating a right-sized box for each shipment.

Now the company is ready for the next step: greening up the glue.
