Logistics

I didn't know anything about TMS or anything like that.

But when I first came in, I copied everything that my mentor did at his logistics company.

And after a while, I found that it was, you know, you were doing work twice, uploading stuff two or three times, and it just didn't flow, right? We didn't have some of the integrations that we have now with Alvis.

And once I got on the phone with Alvis and went through the whole demo, it was night and day just with the demo.

We can go out and get the extra insurance.

Whatever it is that we need to be able to do to move a load, you could turn that whole project over to us.

And we more so see ourselves like a project manager rather than just a logistics company.

So when you're able to sell that type of service, you know, you can charge an extra premium on that also, which gives you the higher margins.

I'm responsible for all of our mapping and routing solutions within Trimble's transportation and logistics segment.

I'm based out of Princeton, have been there for the last 12 years in the Trimble offices that we have in Princeton, delivering the right solutions based on the needs of shippers, carriers, brokers, helping freight move.

So give us

the high level of what Trimble does, because we've been at the conference, we've had a lot of great presentations, but give us the high level of what Trimble provides, and then we'll get into what you and your division...

Let's focus on the logistics, transportation and logistics segment because Trimble has three different segments, our construction segment, our field system segment and transportation logistics segment.

I am within the transportation logistics segments.

We service the needs for our shippers, carriers, brokers with various solutions and not just solutions.

welcome to the hgv1 podcast this time round we're doing the thrive hour podcast supported by logistics uk it's a brand new monthly program all about looking after the people who keep our industry moving focusing on health well-being and the challenges we face both on and off the road we're having honest conversations sharing experiences and offering practical advice to help make life just that little bit better In our very first episode, I'm joined by Maddy Soloway-Price from Logistics UK to find out what Thrive is all about, its connection with mental health charity, Calm, and we hear about some of Maddy's own experiences and achievements along the way.

The Thrive Hour is broadcast on HTV1 on the third Tuesday of every month, but if you

missed it, don't worry, because you can catch up right now.

And we work on behalf of our members and all those that work within the industry to try and make it even better.

Because we know our industry is great, there are also things that we'd all like to see change.

And that's what we do at Logistics UK, is advocate on behalf of the brilliant men and women that work within logistics.

Sounds like you've got your hands full with that.

So Alex Fuller, and I'm with Traffix.

We are a North American third-party logistics company.

We've been around since 1979, and we really focus on helping shippers solve shipping problems.

So we like to dive in, find solutions for really nitty-gritty things, maybe think outside the box, come to the, come up with different solutions for how to move freight.

So some people might be thinking we're saying traffic.

We're saying Traffix.

[laughs] So, um, and Traffix is one of the biggest logistics companies in America, right?

Yeah.

If I stick a division against one of your divisions, I have an idea as to what that looks like.

Logistics-wise, resource-wise, and strength-wise.

yeah so i know if i'm going to commit to a big fight realistically i need two divisions against one of yours for it to be a steady fight yeah if it's the like four for the seventh when it comes to bombing runs i now know there's a lot more utility in bombing your guys i think when they're further away rather than when they're nearby

yeah less combat uh pinning and more you say over there and don't come over here as fast pinning
