Transportation technology provider FreightWise LLC has acquired the Kuebix transportation management system (TMS) platform from logistics technology vendor Trimble, the companies said today.

According to Brentwood, Tennessee-based FreightWise, the acquisition enables it to provide expanded, high-value managed services that address a broader range of clients’ shipping needs. The new owner says it will continue to invest in the Kuebix product suite, providing stability and continuity for existing Kuebix customers.


“By integrating Kuebix’s powerful technology into the FreightWise platform, we can offer customers an even more robust suite of solutions tailored to their unique supply chain needs,” FreightWise said in a blog post. “For new clients, we now provide a one-stop shop for both TMS software and our specialized managed services. For existing FreightWise customers, we can further optimize solutions by layering Kuebix’s capabilities on top of the supply chain expertise and transportation management services you’ve already become accustomed to.”

Terms of the deal were not disclosed.

Kuebix had been a unit of Westminster, Colorado-based Trimble, which bought the firm in 2020 with plans to fold it into its Transportation Sector division alongside other recent acquisitions.

Securing the last mile

Although many shoppers will return to physical stores this holiday season, online shopping remains a driving force behind peak-season shipping challenges, especially when it comes to the last mile. Consumers still want fast, free shipping if they can get it—without any delays or disruptions to their holiday deliveries.

One disruptor that gets a lot of headlines this time of year is package theft—committed by so-called “porch pirates.” These are thieves who snatch parcels from front stairs, side porches, and driveways in neighborhoods across the country. The problem adds up to billions of dollars in stolen merchandise each year—not to mention headaches for shippers, parcel delivery companies, and, of course, consumers.
