Primelink hits the trifecta with LoadStop SmartTMS
LoadStop transportation management system is efficient, easy to integrate with a modern, user-friendly interface
Sunny Vraitch had three criteria in mind when his team started searching for a new transportation management system: “Ease of use, as well as the ability to do support and integration,” said Vraitch, chief financial officer for Primelink Express, a Stockton, California-based carrier specializing in refrigerated transport.
Primelink’s existing TMS was outdated and cumbersome, according to Vraitch, making training new hires a laborious task. Integrating other technology platforms was also a challenge.
Primelink operates 180 trucks and 200 reefers on routes from California to the Southeastern United States. Like many carriers, the company uses multiple transportation providers to manage operations, from load-tracking systems and ELDs to temperature and fuel monitoring.
“Each of these were individual portals, and the TMS we were using didn’t have the ability to easily integrate all of that,” said Vraitch.
Primelink’s provider was willing to upgrade the system, he said, but at a cost of tens of thousands of dollars and a long lead time.
