Emerge and SMC³ Partner to Redefine Freight Procurement

We are thrilled to announce a new strategic partnership with SMC³, aimed at enhancing shipper access to both full truckload (FTL) and less-than-truckload (LTL) procurement technology. This collaboration leverages our innovative full truckload solutions and SMC³’s LTL procurement capabilities to help shippers optimize service and cost across their carrier networks.

“This is an exciting opportunity to work together and introduce customers to procurement options from SMC³ and Emerge,” said Brian Thompson, Chief Commercial Officer at SMC³. “We look forward to taking this collaborative approach with Emerge as another step to automate the entire supply chain.”

Our platform, ProcureOS, streamlines the truckload procurement process for both spot and contract freight, offering users spend modeling and benchmarking powered by EmergeAI. Maggie Petrovic, our SVP of Strategic Partnerships, explained: “Bringing more value to our customers and their supply chain operations is always our top priority. Given that our customers require both FTL and LTL solutions, partnering with SMC³ was an easy decision. With more data, our users gain better insight into all facets of their operations, leading to smarter execution.”

SMC³’s Bid$ense solution complements Emerge by simplifying the LTL bid process, helping shippers make informed decisions and optimize their procurement operations. With its range of transportation technology solutions, SMC³ supports customers as they scale, whether managing 10 or 10,000 freight movements daily.

We’re excited to embark on this journey with SMC³ and to offer our customers a truly comprehensive solution for their freight procurement needs. Together, we’re not just enhancing procurement technology—we’re setting a new standard in the industry. Here’s to a future of innovation, efficiency, and success!
