Dodig says. “Backed by an experienced team, the client gained a more ef cient, scalable operation with stronger cost control and service performance.” The CT Logistics TMS also proved vital for a leading North American manufacturer that was struggling with a fragmented transportation process across regions, multiple carriers and modes. This led to limited visibility, inconsistent carrier selection, manual processes, and challenges with auditing and reconciling freight invoices, all contributing to higher operational costs and reduced control over transportation spend. SEAMLESS INTEGRATION CT Logistics implemented its enterprise TMS, seamlessly integrating with the client’s ERP and logistics partners. The solution centralized multi-mode transportation management, automated carrier selection and shipment execution, and provided real-time visibility across regions. It also consolidated freight audit and payment processes and enabled integration with business intelligence tools, giving the client improved control, consistency, and actionable insight into transportation spend. For those clients and others, the CT Logistics TMS stands out for its ability to unify rating, execution, visibility, and decision-making across over-the-road freight in one connected platform, Dodig says. Because it is created to support complex shipping environments, the TMS helps shippers, 3PLs, and supply chain partners manage truckload, LTL, nal mile, and parcel through a single solution designed for speed, consistency, and control. “The platform’s most distinctive strengths include deep carrier connectivity, exible API-driven integrations, AI-powered tools and agents, real-time rating and tracking, and the ability to identify more ef cient opportunities to combine and optimize freight movement,” Dodig says. “Together, these capabilities help reduce manual work, improve responsiveness, increase visibility, and
ve days. Because CDM Web Freight is web-based, users can utilize mobile devices such as an iPad or Galaxy to manage their shipments from anywhere without the requirement of having to connect to a server via remote access software.” That’s all backed by the expertise and experience of the CDM Software Solutions team. The company was founded more than 38 years ago and serves customers that range from a one- man shop to Fortune 500 companies with hundreds of users. CDM Web Freight has proven to be a reliable TMS solution no matter the size and scope of the work. CT Logistics, a Cleveland-based global third-party logistics provider, built its TMS to seamlessly integrate with the company’s freight audit and payment services. The result is a more accurate and ef cient end-to-end process. By receiving an electronic bill of lading (BOL), CT Logistics can match shipments against invoices in real time and generate highly accurate accruals, reducing discrepancies and manual intervention, explains Ron Dodig, SVP, Sales & Solutions. In addition, if a CT Logistics client is leveraging the company’s LTL pooled rates, the TMS allows them to shop those rates alongside their own to ensure that they are selecting the most cost-effective option per lane. “This combination of integration, visibility, and rate optimization is what makes the solution especially effective,” Dodig says. CT LOGISTICS: TMS BUILT FOR SPEED AND FINANCIAL CONTROL The CT Logistics TMS is primarily used by mid-market-sized shippers who often are still managing transportation through manual processes such as spreadsheets, emails, and phone calls. Their most common challenges include lack of visibility, time-consuming shipment execution, limited cost control, and frequent billing discrepancies. “They’re typically trying to streamline operations, improve accuracy, gain better

insight into their freight spend, and create a more scalable process as their business grows,” Dodig says. CT Logistics worked with one mid- sized shipper that had been relying on manual processes and consequently struggled with limited visibility, inef ciencies, and billing discrepancies. When they implemented the CT TMS, they streamlined their operations through integration with freight audit and payment, enabling electronic BOL matching and more accurate accruals. “The ability to shop both their own rates alongside CT’s LTL pooled rates helped optimize costs by lane, while improved visibility into shipment data supported better decision-making,” The platform’s strengths include deep carrier connectivity, flexible API-driven integrations, AI-powered tools and agents, and the ability to optimize freight movement.” RON DODIG SVP, Sales & Solutions CT Logistics
