What is 3GTMS?

3GTMS provides transportation management software for shippers and for third party and fourth party logistics providers, and is now part of Descartes. It covers freight across modes and partners with an emphasis on control, visibility and cost clarity.

Serving logistics providers as a distinct audience is the notable part. A 3PL is not a shipper with more freight, it manages transportation on behalf of many clients, each with their own carriers, rates, rules and reporting expectations. The software must therefore keep clients separated while allowing the provider to see across all of them, which a system designed for a single shipper cannot do.

Cost clarity is the outcome most shippers actually want. Freight cost is notoriously hard to attribute because a single invoice may cover multiple shipments with surcharges applied after the fact, so knowing what a lane or a customer truly costs to serve requires the transport system to hold rates, actual charges and the shipments they relate to together.

Being part of Descartes places 3GTMS within a much larger logistics network covering customs, compliance and trading partner connectivity. Buyers should note the ownership, since documentation and branding now reflect it.

Freight cost is hard to attribute because one invoice may cover several shipments with surcharges applied later. Knowing what a lane or customer truly costs requires rates, actual charges and shipments held together.
