National 3PL TMS Cloud Transformation, Achieves 98% On-Time Delivery with Cloud-Native Modernization

About the Client

The client is a $2.5B third-party logistics (3PL) enterprise serving over 1,200 shippers across multiple regions. Operating on a legacy Oracle-based Transportation Management System (TMS), the organization faced scalability challenges, limited real-time visibility, and integration constraints. To modernize operations and improve efficiency, the company partnered with Zymr.

Key Outcomes

98% On-Time Delivery (OTD) Achieved
27% Increase in Dispatch Productivity

Business Challenges

The organization relied on a legacy TMS that lacked the flexibility and scalability required for modern logistics operations. Limited real-time visibility into shipments impacted decision-making and customer satisfaction. Carrier integrations were fragmented, resulting in inefficiencies and delays in execution.

Operational processes were heavily manual, reducing overall productivity and increasing the risk of errors. Dispatch planning was time-consuming, limiting throughput and responsiveness to dynamic shipping demands. Additionally, the system struggled to support increasing shipment volumes and evolving customer expectations.

The absence of a cloud-based infrastructure also restricted innovation, making it difficult to adopt advanced analytics, automation, and API-driven integrations. The client required a modern, scalable TMS platform to enhance visibility, improve operational efficiency, and support long-term growth.
