It also validates our strategic investments in SaaS-based solutions, including innovations to our global TMS suite, the recent acquisition of 3GTMS to expand our carrier reach and strengthen domestic transportation management across truckload, less-than-truckload (LTL) and parcel modes, and our acquisition of MyCarrierPortal to help combat cargo fraud and theft.”
