Join us on May 11 at 1:45 PM ET during the TIA 2021 Capital Ideas Conference for "Do You Know Where Your Data Is Living?" and gain a better understanding of the fundamentals of recovery planning and business continuity for 3PLs.

As your logistics company or 3PL grows, so can the complexity of your data landscape. What is important and how do you protect it? From remote workers to application sprawl, learn how to combat problems that can impact your company’s ability to recover from a disaster.

During this session, attendees will outline the risks your company may have and discuss methods to bring management, IT, and other departments together to protect your organization from data loss and downtime.

Why 3PLs Need to Automate Their Back-Office

Automating your complex manual invoice management process increases your competitiveness as a 3PL or freight broker. Automating with HubTran allows you to improve your relationships with carriers, eliminate errors, decrease your days to cash and reduce the amount you spend on your back office – making your business more profitable.

Higher Brokerage Profits Seen With Better And Cheaper Technology

96% of TIA brokers surveyed say that adopting brokerage technology like AscendTMS, TriumphPay, TransFlo, and FourKites is quickly helping them to eliminate labor costs – and thus raise their profit margins.
