3Gtms Launches “Smart Start for Freight Brokers” TMS Implementation Program

Best-in-class brokerage TMS with all the digital features and integrations needed by today’s growth-minded truckload broker

3Gtms Launches “Smart Start for Freight Brokers” TMS Implementation Program

SHELTON, Conn. (November 30, 2021) – 3G, provider of 3Gtms, a leading transportation management system (TMS), and Pacejet, an advanced multi-carrier shipping software, today announced the latest revolution in TMS technology for freight brokerages. 3Gtms’ Smart Start for Freight Brokers (Smart Start) delivers full-featured brokerage functionality, typically live in 10 days, all on a platform that a broker will never outgrow.

With Smart Start, freight brokers go live with a templated installation process for their end-to-end operations, including load board postings, no-touch carrier onboarding, visibility and dispatch/load tendering. Once live, brokers can grow their business beyond brokerage, expand into managed transportation and contract 3PL, LTL and Parcel, load planning or specialized services based on customer demand. Features that already exist in the same software will grow with brokers throughout their entire lifecycle.


Compared to other TMS providers in the industry, many only support brokerage with no true 3PL capabilities, while others require massively complex and expensive installations. 3Gtms combines the high-end digital capabilities brokers want now, with the option for future functionality they will need as they grow – all in a quick, time-to-value, affordable and simple offering.

“This is not a light or reduced feature version. It is the same cloud software used by our large $1 billion 3PL clients,” said Dave Sapenzia, co-founder and vice president of sales, 3Gtms. “We have put massive effort into hiding and reducing complexities, but these advanced features are in the system ready for you to turn on as needed – you will never outgrow this system or need to replace your TMS again.”

3Gtms has already implemented several freight brokers using Smart Start for Freight Brokers, including Bestway Freight Solutions.

“The ability to double our revenue will depend on two things – technology and LTL awards,” said Riley Wiles, managing partner, Bestway. “Since implementing 3Gtms, we already feel like our largest customers have invited us to take a seat at the table on a whole new level.”

3Gtms Smart Start for Freight Brokers was developed for companies like Bestway, that were limited by their previous technology and needed a simplified, affordable implementation process with software they will never outgrow.

Hamilton Caster Appoints Andrew D. Stamp as Director of Sales

Hamilton Caster Appoints Andrew D. Stamp as Director of Sales

Hamilton Caster & Mfg. Co., a 117-year-old industry leader in heavy-duty industrial casters, proudly announces the enhancement of its legacy Super Endurance Caster (SEC) series, now rebranded as the Spinfinity® Super Endurance Caster (ZFSEC) series. In addition, Hamilton is introducing the all-new Spinfinity® Super Endurance Dual Caster (ZFSEC2) series, both of which feature a new heavy-duty 'V-Style' seal designed to elevate performance in the most demanding environments.
The Spinfinity® Super Endurance Caster (ZFSEC) series replaces Hamilton’s legacy SEC series, setting a new benchmark for kingpinless caster design in extra heavy-duty applications. Central to this upgrade is the heavy-duty 'V-Style' seal, which offers protection against dirt, debris, and moisture. This advanced sealing technology ensures consistent performance and extends the life of the caster, making it the ideal choice for environments where reliability is critical.
"With the introduction of the V-Style seal, the ZFSEC series is engineered to withstand the harshest conditions while providing zero-fix, 100% maintenance-free operation," said Mark Lippert, president of Hamilton Caster. "This enhancement allows our customers to minimize maintenance costs and downtime, further solidifying Hamilton’s reputation for durability and dependability."
The ZFSEC series retains the robust construction that Hamilton is known for, including a swivel top plate and inner raceway made from forged steel, providing superior strength for shock conditions. Sealed precision ball bearings are also now standard in all wheels, contributing to the maintenance-free performance of the series. Notably, the zerk fittings have been eliminated, as the new design makes them unnecessary.
Complementing the ZFSEC series, Hamilton introduces the all-new Spinfinity® Super Endurance Dual Wheel Caster (ZFSEC2) series. This dual wheel series is engineered for extra heavy-duty applications where stability, durability, and maintenance-free operation are paramount. Like its counterpart, the ZFSEC2 series leverages the new 'V-Style' seal, ensuring that each caster is fully protected against contaminants that could compromise performance.
Combined with sealed precision ball wheel bearings, this caster series ensures zero-fix, 100% maintenance-free performance. The dual-wheel configuration enhances stability and allows for a lower overall height, offering a perfect blend of strength and maneuverability.
Casters in both series are finished in a durable HAA polyester platinum powder coat and are available in a wide variety of wheel types, allowing for customization based on application needs.

New Horizon Releases Innovative Functionality for Optimizing Inbound Logistics Scheduling at DCs

ACTON, Massachusetts – September 3, 2024 – New Horizon Soft, LLC (https://www.newhorizon.ai), a global leader in AI-powered supply chain planning software, announced today the release of a new version of its Buyers Workbench procurement planning software. The latest version includes the ability to optimally schedule inbound deliveries, taking into account distribution center (DC) receiving capacity, thus minimizing receiving bottlenecks and lowering inbound logistics costs. A research paper describing the innovative methodology and its deployment at an iconic $10B+ U.S. quick-service restaurant chain was recently published in the peer-reviewed academic journal, the International Journal of Operations Research and Information Systems.

Supply chain organizations typically plan purchase orders without regard to DC receiving capacity. This leads to bottlenecks on some days and underutilized staff on others. New Horizon’s methodology, called Master Purchasing Receipt Scheduling (MPRS), uses a novel algorithm to automatically and optimally schedule deliveries. The algorithm plans deliveries at the time of purchase order creation and results in a steady volume of deliveries and lower planning and logistics costs. While first deployed at a restaurant chain, the methodology is applicable to any manufacturer, wholesaler, retailer, or foodservice company operating high-velocity DCs.
