About The Customer
RedStone Logistics is a third-party logistics provider specializing in transportation management services. It serves companies of all sizes with the full spectrum of transportation needs: small package, less-than-truckload, truckload, expedited shipments and air shipments, as well as consulting services. With industry-leading technology and continuous improvement for year-over-year performance, RedStone helps clients save money and improve internal processes.
The Challenge
As RedStone’s client base grew in size and complexity, its legacy transportation management system (TMS) had trouble keeping up. It wasn’t able to scale with the business or support its diverse client needs. In addition, the TMS vendor announced it would not support 3PLs going forward. RedStone sought a TMS that could provide the flexibility it needed to meet its expanding 3PL needs and differentiate its services.
The Solution
RedStone chose 3Gtms as their new TMS software. The 3Gtms solution provided RedStone with the freedom to self-configure the TMS without relying on a vendor for the changes. In addition, 3Gtms could handle the complexity RedStone needed to serve its diverse clients and integrate them quickly. The true total cost of ownership for 3Gtms was far lower than its competitor, even though the quoted SaaS price was a little higher. This was due to the other vendor adding significant costs for maintenance and onboarding new accounts.

Remote Temperature Monitoring of Perishable Goods Saves Money
RMONI was facing temperature monitoring challenges in a cold chain business. A cold chain must be established and maintained to ensure goods have been properly refrigerated during every step of the process, making temperature monitoring a critical business function. Manual registration practice can be very costly, labor intensive and prone to mistakes.

IoT-based Fleet Intelligence Innovation
Speed to market is precious for DRVR, a rapidly growing start-up company. With a business model dependent on reliable mobile data, managers were spending their lives trying to negotiate data roaming deals with mobile network operators in different countries. And, even then, service quality was a constant concern.
Case Study
Vehicle Fleet Analytics
Organizations frequently implement a maintenance strategy for their fleets of vehicles using a combination of time and usage based maintenance schedules. While effective as a whole, time and usage based schedules do not take into account driving patterns, environmental factors, and sensors currently deployed within the vehicle measuring crank voltage, ignition voltage, and acceleration, all of which have a significant influence on the overall health of the vehicle.In a typical fleet, a large percentage of road calls are related to electrical failure, with battery failure being a common cause. Battery failures result in unmet service agreement levels and costly re-adjustment of scheduled to provide replacement vehicles. To reduce the impact of unplanned maintenance, the transportation logistics company was interested in a trial of C3 Vehicle Fleet Analytics.

Zonar Takes the Wheel with a M2M Solution
Zonar’s fleet management solutions collect, report and analyze data before, during and after a vehicle’s trip. The company needed Machine-to-Machine (M2M) connectivity to enable communication between in-vehicle devices and back-end systems. To deliver high volumes of potentially sensitive information from and to moving vehicles – and keep pace with its rapid business growth – Zonar wanted a highly secure solution that it could easily manage and that had the required national and global reach.
