Transportation Management Solutions

Asset availability, route assignments, carrier management, and payment terms all play a key role in getting products to market efficiently and cost-effectively. SCT helps clients ensure their Transportation Management System (TMS) is delivering meaningful value—supporting better decision-making and protecting margins in a time when logistics costs are under increased scrutiny.

Shipper Solutions

Shippers need a TMS to centralize operations, gain real-time visibility into shipments, reduce costs through optimized routing and carrier selection, and improve efficiency by automating tasks like rate comparison and freight tendering.

SCT works with shippers to identify the key requirements specific to their business, and scope, select, budget for, and implement the TMS to drive value across their business.  Tangible results include:

  • Improved freight spend and performance through carrier management and selection, optimized load planning and route efficiency
  • Improved operational efficiency through automation of manual tasks
  • Enhanced real-time visibility and tracking of shipments

  • Streamlined and higher accuracy freight auditing and payment processes
