The Challenge
Before working with TransPlus, GIGG Express Inc. was operating a manual system to manage shipments. They quickly recognized that a full transportation management system (TMS) would be essential to support their future growth. It was clear that the manual system was error-prone and added unnecessary complexity for both office staff and drivers. New employees who had recently joined the GIGG Team had used TransPlus in previous roles and were keen to recommend TransPlus as a solution.
Choosing TransPlus
TransPlus Software appeared to be the perfect solution for GIGG. It provides full visibility of each delivery, full oversight of each vehicle's location and progress, making it easy to maximize vehicle capacity and routes. It also assists GIGG with their commitment to providing a superior level of customer service to their clients, supplying more accurate and up-to-date delivery information.
The TransPlus system also integrates with other solutions implemented by GIGG, including Samsara, Sage 300, and ACE/ACI solutions. TransPlus provides an effective electronic data interchange (EDI) which makes it easy for carriers to implement efficiently with minimal training requirements.
"TransPlus has been great to work with, providing a platform which meets our needs. Their team is always happy to help develop the system to support the growth of our business."
The Results
The GIGG Team has reported significant improvements in overall performance since implementing the TransPlus TMS. They are pleased with the user-friendly interface and the excellent support provided by the TransPlus team to ensure the system is set up perfectly to meet the needs of their business. GIGG’s TMS is set up to generate updates every 15-seconds ensuring that real time data is available to support logistics planning, and the electronic data interchange (EDI) integrates effectively with other systems.
