The SMC³ API-based integration available in McLeod’s PowerBroker® LTL module will help 3PLs and logistic providers find and select from multiple rating options, improve dispatch efficiency, and enhance shipment insights.

We are excited for this tremendous opportunity to work with the McLeod team to bring greater efficiency and optimization to LTL transportation management,” said Kendra Miller, Senior Director of Alliances and Client Success at SMC³.

McLeod Software’s PowerBroker LTL now includes these SMC³ LTL APIs:

• Price Quote: Includes access to contract, dynamic, volume and brokerage rates. Automates and optimizes pricing strategies, ensuring customers always get access to the best rates available.

• Automated PRO# Assignment: Generate and manage PRO numbers in advance of shipment.

• Dispatch: Streamline the dispatch process, optimizing carrier selection and route planning for efficiency and cost savings.

• Shipment Status: Provides real-time visibility and track and trace ability for in-transit shipments improving exception management and customer communication.

• Document: View and download PDF format digital documents for bill of lading, weight & inspection certification, proof of delivery, and invoices.

“This is a time of great momentum for the McLeod and SMC³ partnership; best-in-class API technology integrations enable McLeod users with immediate shipment execution, improved visibility, and timely access to critical data. These new capabilities solidify SMC³’s commitment to digitize LTL processes for McLeod and its customers,” said Brian Thompson, Chief Commercial Officer at SMC³.

“We are excited to expand our integration with SMC³ to provide McLeod’s customers with more LTL API options with a long-standing and industry-trusted company. Simplifying LTL quotes and orders has always been McLeod’s goal; SMC³ allows that to happen. I can’t wait for our customers to see the top-notch offerings and support McLeod and SMC³ have to offer with this integration,” said Mike Lambert, Product Success Manager at McLeod Software.

The new cameras at Tulips FTW will serve as a wonderful content creation tool for local artists.

Enhancing the Music Experience
The Music Project has allowed participating venues to expedite substantial upgrades already underway. Ferris Wheelers Live has enhanced its suites and stage while embarking on an ambitious Ferris Wheel lighting project. Club Dada has upgraded its outdoor patio stage, and Tulips FTW installed the beforementioned state-of-the-art video and streaming system, enabling artists to record music and stream live performances. Each venue will also feature new murals designed and created by local artists.
