Our TMS allows stakeholders up and down the supply chain to have unprecedented levels of visibility into their shipments – and does so without resulting in information overload.
Sterling also uses cutting edge sensor technology to provide visibility down to the pallet level. Industry-leading real-time trackers capture and transmit hyper-accurate data on the location and condition of your shipment, including measurements of temperature, light, shock and more.
At Sterling, experience aligns with innovation.
Moving at the Speed of Digital.
Information flows that involve incompatible communications systems and a chaotic paper trail rarely result in good outcomes.
Ditto for information flows that are siloed in the sort of proprietary, in-house, on-premises technology platforms that many transportation & logistics providers tout as somehow being in the interest of shippers.
At Sterling, we embrace state-of-the-art, cloud-first technology solutions that help solve customer problems – not create new challenges.
Seamless Collaboration.Anytime. Anywhere.
Our TMS can be accessed by Sterling and our partners anytime, anywhere and on any device, enabling us to collaborate with shippers and drivers with full transparency and visibility.
Information can be accessed as easily as it can be in Google, generating real-time actionable insights and allowing everyone to work together from a single pane of glass.
Rising Above the Chaos.
While Sterling’s customers value their ability to view their shipments directly in real time, no one monitors your freight more aggressively than we do.
Many shippers are inundated with more data than they have time or personnel to analyze. That’s why we believe that providing data is not nearly as important as synthesizing and interpreting data.
At Sterling, technology has not replaced people. Instead, technology has enhanced our productivity. And enabled Sterling to provide shippers with white glove service they can count on.
Sterling Dynamic
Honor. Fairness. Genuine Partnership.
The dramatic upcycles and downcycles in the freight transportation business have highlighted a fact: most freight transportation contracts are scarcely worth the paper that they’re written on. A system that does not work well for either side cries out for innovation.
To restore honor to the contract process, contracts need to allow for a haggle-free exchange in which rates can be reset by formula. To create fairness for all involved, Sterling’s Dynamic Contracts are structured to allow rates to be adjusted during the contract term, not just upon contract renewal.
The result: a more workable arrangement that provides assured capacity to Sterling’s customers whether freight markets are tight or loose.
