Transportation Management System

KANE’s transportation management systems support efficient execution of truckload deliveries, cross docking, load consolidation, freight brokerage, and full outsourced transportation management.

We use Tier 1 systems from TMW (OTR freight optimization) and BluJay Solutions (load consolidation and transportation management) to manage on-time, efficient delivery of freight with complete visibility. Naturally, we have GPS tracking in every truck and 2-way communication with our drivers.

Load Consolidation

One of KANE’s signature freight solutions is Load Consolidation, which combines smaller shipments from multiple manufacturers into single truckload shipments. This lets small to mid-sized shippers cooperate to lower the high cost of LTL shipping. Our system receives orders from multiple companies and searches for “matches” – orders that share similar ship-to destinations and arrival dates. 

We then build full truckloads to cut customer LTL costs by 20% to 35%. 

Features of KANE’s load consolidation program include:

• Internet-enabled application
• Updates every 15 minutes
• Visibility throughout the process for you and your customers
• Tight integration with warehouse management system
• Order status frequently updated via EDI
