Axele Hits Outstanding Milestone of 10,000 Loads Since Introduction Less Than 90 Days Ago

Rapid Adoption of Solution Validates Need for Intelligent TMS for Small to Midsize Truckload Market

Dallas, TXJanuary 26, 2021—Axele, LLC, a Transportation Management System (TMS) company, announces that it has hit an unprecedented milestone of over 1,000 users registered and 10,000 loads managed in less than 90 days since introduction of the Axele TMS. The rapid adoption of Axele TMS validates the need for an intelligent TMS in the market targeting small to midsize truckload carriers. 

“Seeing this significant growth of users and loads since we started charging subscribers on November 2, 2020, the day the product became fully commercialized, shows that the truckload carrier market has long been underserved and in desperate need of a solution like this,” said Ryan Camacho, Director, Business Development, Axele.  “With the Axele TMS, small to midsize carriers can reap the benefits of an optimized, automated, and connected TMS, with features and functionalities that enterprise TMS systems offer to large clients, at an affordable price.”


Parent company Optym in June 2020 initially launched Axele TMS. From June through October 2020, Axele TMS users had used the tool at no charge. However, in November 2020, Axele launched its paid subscription model and has experienced impressive adoption by over 1,000 users, with 750 truck drivers hauling over 10,000 loads managed by the system. 

The Axele TMS is built using Optym’s proprietary algorithms that have successfully optimized flight schedules, railroad network planning, and linehaul planning for global logistics corporations. Axele TMS empowers small to medium-sized truckload carriers to increase operating income and reduce the time spent managing the business. The system is the first to deliver advanced optimization and automation technologies to carriers of all sizes – capabilities that were once available only to large enterprise-sized trucking companies.

About Axele

Axele offers transportation management system (TMS) cloud software for truckload carriers leveraging decades of experience and insights into optimization and automation technology. Launched by Optym in 2020, Axele is the industry's first intelligent, connected solution, built specifically for small to mid-sized truckload carriers. Axele serves for-hire truckload operators and private fleets who haul general freight, dry van, flatbed, and refrigerated loads. The Axele TMS integrates with load boards, ELDs, market rates, maps, and accounting systems, to enable an owner-operator or carrier to find better loads, increase profits, and grow their business. For more information about Axele, go towww.axele.com.

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.
