Industry-leading lamination manufacturer struggling to find solid logistics software to integrate into Syspro and support their transportation goals across 5 major U.S. facilities finds FreightPOP.

Customer Challenges

With a growth trajectory spinning for laminate products since 2021, the customer came to us while dealing with record-high volumes (800 FTL, 80 LTL per month) and a brand new facility opening. They had several challenges they sought to overcome that their legacy transportation management system (TMS) was not meeting. 

The customer desperately needed to: 

  • Keep reliable track of deliveries
  • Maintain clear records, with double-entry still required in Syspro and on carrier websites for each order
  • Access a better way to arrange shipments rather than calling, emailing, and visiting carrier sites to gather quotes  
  • Obtain delivery and shipping data across modes for KPI tracking and reporting (the customer was still relying on Google Sheets to monitor transportation goals)

How FreightPOP met the customer's needs:
