SHELTON, Conn., Aug. 15, 2017 -- project44, a Chicago-based enterprise company bringing automation and visibility to the transportation and logistics space, and 3GTMS, a global provider of Tier 1 transportation management software (TMS), today announced the launch of a comprehensive global integration that will provide real-time full lifecycle LTL and Volume automation services directly through the 3GTMS’ interface.

This partnership expands 3GTMS’ industry-leading customer experience by optimizing how users secure a rate quote, analyze live transit times, execute a shipment, access real-time visibility insights, and retrieve delivery documents. 3GTMS users leveraging this offering can immediately access all of project44’s network, which includes over 99 percent of the available domestic LTL market, and over 70 percent of the total Volume LTL capacity, all without requiring individual, point-to-point carrier integrations.

With this new offering, 3GTMS customers have access to industry-leading turnkey LTL and Volume LTL API solutions directly within their current 3GTMS interface and workflows. One such user, Premier Logistics, is already experiencing the impact of this partnership, "In today's world, automation and speed is essential.

Within seconds, we're able to pull rate quotes from our entire capacity provider network and see their live, lane-by-lane transit times. Most importantly, I know the data is 100 percent accurate and up-to-date—increasing my confidence in the carrier selection process and my ability to make strategic transportation decisions for Premier's clients."
