Wooden has served as the CEO of MercuryGate since 2000, carving out a specific niche for MercuryGate in the sometimes crowded TMS field by providing a flexible, dynamic solution to customers. MercuryGate and SMC³ have partnered for years to simplify the complexity of LTL rating and transit-time decisions for shippers, 3PLs and other supply chain participants, enabling them to optimize freight transportation.
“While SMC³ is primarily known throughout the industry for its technology solutions, the company’s two yearly conferences are always must-attend events that present supply chain attendees with practicable content and extremely valuable networking opportunities,” Wooden said. “I am pleased to speak at the Logistics Technology Summit, an event that fills a knowledge gap in the industry.”
