John Wiehoff, CEO of C.H. Robinson, is one of the keynote speakers for the Connections 2018 supply chain conference, which will take place June 25-27 at the Greenbrier. He recently spoke with SMC³, which has served as one of the 3PL’s long-time partners, about emerging technologies in the industry and how C.H. Robinson uses technology to optimize its business.

SMC³’s Kendra Miller is constantly in discussion with alliance partners and technology providers regarding the latest technology SMC³ has to offer and how these products can integrate seamlessly with TMS applications and help simplify the complexity of LTL rating to best fit their business needs.

The collaboration between an LTL shipper and their carriers has evolved overtime, which has led to strategic discussions around LTL pricing and the new technologies that are going to be most effective for their business needs.

The SMC³ Platform is the underlying LTL fuel for transportation management systems and the single integration point for all carrier rate, transit and service information.

Neutral base rates that are accurate and dependable will provide shippers, carriers and other supply chain stakeholders the confidence that their LTL transportation strategies are backed by extensive data analysis and business intelligence resulting in a true win-win for all parties involved.
