3Gtms, Inc., a software company that is simplifying complex transportation management for shippers, 3PLs and brokers, today announced that 3G-TM, the company's transportation management system (TMS) is live at Flagship Logistics Group's Indianapolis operations center.

The 3G-TM software is managing the following key functions for Flagship Logistics Group:

3G-TM transportation execution software, launched on February 24, 2014, helps transportation managers make better decisions, harness new opportunities, save costs, streamline processes and address the daily challenges of transportation planning and execution. Built on a single platform, the software seamlessly manages the full transportation lifecycle including: rating, routing (including multi-stop and pool distribution optimization), tendering, tracking, tracing and settlement in a single system. Companies can license the full suite for maximum value or individual modules to augment existing systems.

"3Gtms' team of professionals have implemented a top-notch TMS solution in a matter of weeks, not months, or years," said Keith Warren, President of Flagship Logistics Group. "The high speed brokerage entry screens they have provided will enable us to streamline our processes and deliver better service to our customers while reducing overall transportation costs. We look forward to exploring all of the nw functionality that 3G-TM will bring to the operations center in Indianapolis and our other branch locations."

"Flagship Logistics Group is leading the charge by becoming our first live customer for our recently launched 3G-TM solution. We know that our TMS will help lead them to new customer opportunities while unscrambling the complexities inherent in transportation management. Post-implementation our team will continue to work with Flagship Logistics Group to ensure they receive the maximum benefits of the system."
