MAGNET FOR GROWTH
A trusted industry partner for more than 88 years, SMC³ is an established thought leader, hosting premier supply chain conferences and educational events across North America. “Our status as a trade association provides close connections to all less-than-truckload carriers across North America,” says Brian Thompson, the organization’s chief commercial officer. “SMC³ utilizes our proprietary technology infrastructure to connect asset-based providers with their customers, shippers, and logistics service providers, with high-speed connectivity around the clock.” LEADING THE LTL INDUSTRY Based in the master-planned community of Peachtree City, just south of Atlanta, SMC³ is at the center of the $50-billion LTL industry, managing more than 4 billion pricing and transit transactions per month. To help accomplish its goals, the organization accesses the knowledge and power of the state’s leading logistics innovators and thinkers. For example, SMC³ partnered with logistics professor Dr. Karl Manrodt at Georgia College & State University to develop and launch a new online educational program focused on the LTL industry. “The educational program is a self-paced, online program leveraged by some of the largest logistics providers across the country,” Thompson explains. “So many new people have entered the industry in the past four years that educational programs are imperative to prepare them for these careers.” The infrastructure—from fiber cable to roads and bridges to the busiest international airport in the country—all enable SMC³ to be effective in reaching its audience across the country, he adds. Post pandemic, SMC³ has shifted from requiring all employees to work from the office to allowing them to work either in the office or remotely. This policy has allowed SMC³ to attract and retain top talent from across the state and the country, Thompson says.
