Logistics software provider TMW Systems Inc. said Monday it has integrated its transportation management system (TMS) platform with freight matching services from 123Loadboard.

Cleveland-based TMW has linked its TMW.Suite and TruckMate transportation management products with the load board provider in order to help truckers, brokers, and shippers move their freight more efficiently. Users who hold accounts with both companies can now post loads or trucks to Montreal-based 123Loadboard's online marketplace via TMW's Freight Board Interface, TMW said.

Through the integration, TMW.Suite and TruckMate users have the ability to add, update, cancel, and remove loads from within their respective TMS programs, the firms said. Posted loads auto-populate in 123Loadboard, giving carriers and others using the platform access to a greater quantity of loads in real time. In addition, drivers can post trucks available for use, enabling brokers and asset-based carriers to take advantage of 123Loadboard's platform.

"This TMW integration will enable 123Loadboard members to post their loads and trucks to the load board quickly and easily using automation to simplify the process," Loarn Metzen, vice president of 123Loadboard, said in a release. "Plus, having immediate access to up-to-date load and truck data will ensure that 123Loadboard's platform remains efficient while helping brokers and fleet owners move greater freight volumes."

Automation delivers results for high-end designer

When you get the chance to automate your distribution center, take it.

That's exactly what leaders at interior design house Thibaut Design did when they relocated operations from two New Jersey distribution centers (DCs) into a single facility in Charlotte, North Carolina, in 2019. Moving to an "empty shell of a building," as Thibaut's Michael Fechter describes it, was the perfect time to switch from a manual picking system to an automated one—in this case, one that would be driven by voice-directed technology.

In search of the right WMS

IT projects can be daunting, especially when the project involves upgrading a warehouse management system (WMS) to support an expansive network of warehousing and logistics facilities. Global third-party logistics service provider (3PL) CJ Logistics experienced this first-hand recently, embarking on a WMS selection process that would both upgrade performance and enhance security for its U.S. business network.

The company was operating on three different platforms across more than 35 warehouse facilities and wanted to pare that down to help standardize operations, optimize costs, and make it easier to scale the business, according to CIO Sean Moore.

Optoro: 69% of shoppers admit to “wardrobing” fraud

With returns now a routine part of the shopping journey, technology provider Optoro says a recent survey has identified four trends influencing shopper preferences and retailer priorities.

First, 54% of retailers are looking for ways to increase their financial recovery from returns. That’s because the cost to return a purchase averages 27% of the purchase price, which erases as much as 50% of the sales margin. But consumers have their own interests in mind: 76% of shoppers admit they’ve embellished or exaggerated the return reason to avoid a fee, a 39% increase from 2023 to 204.
