TransCore Logistics Suite Improves Productivity for Smart Lines

SPRINGFIELD, Mo.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--TransCore has announced that Smart Lines, LLC, a nationally certified freight broker, has upgraded to its Logistics Suite transportation management system (TMS) for freight brokers with a goal to improve productivity by more than 20 loads a week.

“We’ve been using TransCore since our company’s inception in 2002”

Operating excellence is more than a catch phrase for Greg Roush, president and owner of Smart Lines who relies on technology tools and customer service to achieve the excellence for which he strives. “We’ve been using TransCore since our company’s inception in 2002,” said Roush.

“We chose TransCore because they came highly recommended and because the software was designed specifically for brokers. Our experience has been so positive that migrating from TransCore’s UNIX-based TMS to Logistics Suite was a really easy decision.”

Logistics Suite is a transportation management system that addresses both the operational and accounting needs of transportation brokers and 3PLs. Features include order entry, dispatch, tracking, receivables, settlements, EDI, document management, load matching, carrier monitoring, and more.

In addition to Logistics Suite, Smart Lines also uses 3sixty Freight Match and TransCore Imaging, a document management system for the trucking industry. Both products are intelligently integrated directly into Logistics Suite for maximum productivity and control.

“TransCore’s customer service is second to none, all of our data was ported over, and most importantly, we know that the speed of Logistics Suite will significantly impact our productivity,” said Roush. “We can easily see 20 employees each covering one more load a week.”
