AscendTMS And Hubtek In Industry First - TMS and Offshore Staffing For Brokers, 3PL's and Carriers

This first of a kind software and staffing solution is designed to immediately lower operating costs

AscendTMS And Hubtek In Industry First - TMS and Offshore Staffing For Brokers, 3PL's and Carriers

Tampa, Florida - July 25th, 2019

InMotion Global, Inc. announced today that AscendTMS, the world's most popular and number one rated transportation management software (TMS), has partnered with Hubtek, a leading near-shore logistics outsourcing staffing solution, to offer a bundled TMS software and staffing package within AscendTMS.


The combination of Hubtek and AscendTMS provides brokers and carriers with on-demand logistics staff at up to 70% less cost than they are currently paying for similar positions in the United States - all inside the AscendTMS software. The widely used TMS technology from AscendTMS is provided at no charge to Hubtek customers, allowing teams of remote staff to work collaboratively.

Tim Higham, president and CEO of AscendTMS, said, "Almost every question I get from our broker and carrier customers today is how can they leverage the best technologies and other industry advancements to quickly lower their operating costs. A sure-fire way to do that is by combining the proven TMS technology from AscendTMS along with up to 70% off labor costs for common logistics staffing positions. By doing this, brokers and carriers immediately see lower costs and thus much higher profits overnight."

An added bonus for Hubtek clients is that they get AscendTMS, packaged with instant expert staffing solutions, at no cost. This means they can immediately take advantage of the lower staffing costs of Hubtek's Colombia based logistics staff (see HERE for more details).

Ricardo Gonzalez, CEO of Hubtek, stated; "This is an industry first. AscendTMS has a stellar reputation. Their number one rated TMS software allows us to extend our staffing services into any logistics company in North America in a matter of seconds. With AscendTMS, we can literally provide additional expert staffing to our clients in minutes, and for as long as they are needed. It's the ultimate in leveraging on-demand labor, just as it's needed, and at a fraction of the cost."

Hubtek's professional staff are based in Colombia. They all speak fluent English, are college educated, and are fully familiar with AscendTMS, so no special training is required. This means the broker or carrier gets expert staff in minutes that are familiar with AscendTMS. Moreover, Hubtek's expert logistics staff are a lot less costly than US based staff.

"What amazed me," Higham said, "is that Hubtek can provide brokers and carriers with either full-time teams of staff or just on-demand short term help, all at up to 70% less money, in mere minutes. Such services didn't even exist a few years ago but have proven to be incredibly successful in helping brokers and carriers grow and lower costs. In fact, I'm certain that state of the art TMS technology, bundled with on-demand staffing solutions, will be the future of growing freight related businesses going forward."

AscendTMS is the world's number one rated TMS software platform, with paying customers in over 20 countries. It's also the only true-cloud based TMS system, requiring no IT staff, no downloads, no setup, no configuration, no installation, no hardware, and no contracts. It offers complete dispatch control, fully customizable load management screens, free load tracking built into the TMS, free document management, sending of driver instructions via text from the TMS (and the ability to receive texted replies into the TMS), complete fleet, asset, and driver management, full brokerage management, easy accounting, seamless cash funding on completed loads, full reporting, user role management, branch and agent management, a free truckload rate index, real truck-miles and routes, automated driver pay and settlement, free route and load optimization, free customization, one-dollar EDI connectivity, a driver payment pOréal, and much more.

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.
