AscendTMS Is The First TMS Provider to Include "In TMS" Truck Parking Reservations Via TruckPark

Tampa, Florida - Wednesday, January 29th, 2020.

InMotion Global, Inc. announced today that AscendTMS, the world's most popular and number one rated transportation management software (TMS), and TruckPark, the largest single digital platform for truck parking reservations, have signed an agreement to allow truck parking reservations to be made directly inside the AscendTMS software platform by fleet dispatchers. This partnership provides the logistics industry with fast, easy access to thousands of secure parking spaces via the AscendTMS software for carrier fleets of all sizes.


Bert Goo, EVP of Partnerships & Channel Marketing at AscendTMS, said; "The key to making driver parking reservations is saving the spaces well before someone else does. This agreement with TruckPark is a first for any TMS provider in that it allows the dispatcher to make the reservation for the driver while he or she is driving, hours before it even crosses the drivers mind. This partnership allows the dispatcher to help their drivers out by seeing all the forward-looking parking spaces available based on the drivers current location, their HoS available, and their average speed. AscendTMS will then provide several parking suggestions on the road ahead for the dispatcher, and allow the reservation to be made in AscendTMS with a single click. The driver is then notified automatically of their reservation by SMS text message or by ELD text message. No other TMS platform has ever done this before."

Carriers, brokers and shippers use the AscendTMS suite of world class TMS software to better manage their entire organizations logistics and fleet management needs. With this integration, TruckPark extends the benefits of the AscendTMS transportation management solution to provide guaranteed, secure parking for more productive use of the drivers time as they near the end of their available hours of service (HoS) with a higher degree of driver safety and payload security while parked.

"As a company, TruckPark is focused on solving parking challenges in today's trucking industry and we're proud that we're able to help simplify the lives of truckers for thousands of AscendTMS carriers and drivers with this integration," said Anthony Petitte, CEO at TruckPark. "Fleet managers, brokers and digital freight markets can leverage our technology to reduce costs, improve operational efficiency and boost safety. We're excited to make this new integration available today to any AscendTMS customer."

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.
