See How Crowley Logistics Has Achieved Success with Trimble Solutions

Published Date

We’re proud to serve businesses across the transportation industry with our solutions and a leader among those is Crowley Logistics. For more than a century, Crowley has served shippers throughout North and Central America with their expansive network of heavy-duty trucks, ocean ships, warehouses and more. They recently sat down with us to discuss how Trimble’s transportation and logistics solutions have enhanced their operations and made their business more efficient and profitable than ever. 

As Crowley has grown their transportation business, their operation has generated tremendous amounts of data for orders, routes, operational analysis, safety, compliance and more. They needed a unified system of digital solutions that could streamline and automate their team’s work and support the agile decision-making a large organization depends on to stay competitive. 

“As a transportation professional, the things that are important to me are; how do we reduce clicks? How do we reduce processing time for our users? How do we automate tasks, and how do we have better visibility to what’s happening that can make us safer, more productive?” said Stephanie Johnson, Director of Operations Integrity at Crowley. “Those are the kinds of things we focus on in transportation and that Trimble helps us with.”

Trimble supports Crowley’s business with several major solutions, including:

  • Trimble TMW.Suite TMS – Optimize your fleet’s end-to-end workflow, from order entry to delivery, in a single transportation management system (TMS). Trimble’s TMW.Suite TMS provides a robust collection of cutting-edge tools to streamline your processes, connect all parts of your business and enhance efficiency at every level.

  • Trimble Visibility – Gain a complete, real-time view of your entire supply chain and get the actionable insights you need to make better decisions. Trimble Visibility lets you see and provide detailed load data and easily communicate statuses to critical stakeholders. 

“Trimble provides so many different products and is constantly evolving and procuring new products and merging them into the Trimble family,” said Johnson. “That allows us to provide the tools that we need to be successful, so we can focus on transportation, warehousing, building ships. And we don’t need to focus on the technology as much because Trimble is providing that service.” 

Crowley has been a customer of Trimble for many years, and their goal has always been to ensure excellence. With the help of Trimble, they’ve been able to maintain outstanding results. For one, they are able to gear their focus more toward their customers’ satisfaction, and less on the technological aspects of their business.

When asked about what makes Crowley happy to partner with us, Johnson replied, “[Trimble]’s a company that's focused on transportation-related products, but really it's the people; the transportation experts and technology experts building on data science and investing heavily in different ways of using different technology.”
