MercuryGate: Optimizing Logistics

The modern supply chain is on a rapid evolution to meet the rising customer demands. Logistics companies and supply chain managers need to plan to keep the smoother flow. However, maintaining a functional supply chain network takes a lot of collaboration as well as careful monitoring of market trends. Developing a sound supply chain strategy is one of the first things that play the most critical role in an effective logistics operation. MercuryGate is one of the full power, feature-rich transportation management systems (TMS) that is singularly focused on strategic freight transportation management automation. The result is the best-of-breed transportation management platform that enables logistics experts to execute efficiencies previously unattainable and empowers relative newcomers to perform at expert levels they could not otherwise achieve.

MercuryGate’s unique transportation focus has produced the most business-relevant, functionality-loaded architecture available. With MercuryGate, users can manage all modes of freight transportation on-demand to see real-time sourcing costs and savings. The solutions comprehensive native parcel rating, less-than-truckload (LTL) density rating, and schedule rating capabilities enable optimum integration with major carriers and the use of air, ocean, and rail logistics as needed. With unmatched scalability and ease of use, the solution is claimed to be future-proofed for tomorrow as well. “While others were developing different supply chain solutions for a myriad of industries, MercuryGate has, since its founding 20 years ago, remained singularly focused on solving for the needs of the transportation industry,” explains Joe Juliano, CEO, MercuryGate. 

MercuryGate’s cloud computing architecture delivers exceptional performance and simplicity by running on a single code base to support the “multi-everything” capabilities natively. This allows for system-agnostic integration, fewer clicks to perform more tasks, easier upgrades to the latest advancements, 24/7 support, and 99.996 percent uptime reliability from their own data center. Their dedicated and multi-tenant installations use this same code base, making releases faster and simpler. Furthermore, the MercuryGate platform supports multi-threading for high-speed loading of transaction data making even the most technologically sophisticated shippers rely on this architecture.

With an automated load balancing and multi-server infrastructure, the MercuryGate platform automatically scales applications to meet demand and performance requirements. This cloud-based, multi-tenant platform scales easily to deliver increased capacity as an organization requires it. The solution’s automatic, regular upgrades ensure that the clients have access to the latest version and functions. TMS users gain access to new capabilities through the refreshed, upgraded software, guaranteeing client operations remain highly current. This kind of unique architecture allows for easy standardization across business sectors and includes native carrier compliance management, market index, and other features that typically are harder to access through add-on modules in other TMS solutions. End-to-end optimization of route, rate, and process yields greater efficiencies, and superior business intelligence and analytics give decision-makers the power to avoid risk and seize the opportunity. Based on the analytics feedback in the platform, the MercuryGate solution learns the best way to manage freight processes moving forward. Meanwhile, by embedding business intelligence into the solution suite logistics managers gain more power to manage and analyze data. “We live in a data-driven world and tapping into the power of analytics isn’t an option, it’s a necessity,” adds Juliano. 

With over two decades of industry presence, the company’s singular mission is to enable autonomous logistics through its built-for-purpose transportation management system by driving cost efficiencies, streaming processes, and creating growth. MercuryGate has invested solely in transportation technology, continually honing the company’s expertise. “MercuryGate’s focus to deliver more value to customers is our number one goal,” concludes Juliano.
