Outdated Information
One of the biggest challenges TFC had as they began to grow the business was that they were collecting a lot of data in their current ystems, but the data was not translating into useful information.

“The challenge we faced was that our data and our information were housed in different, siloed systems,” explains Nicolas Larum, General Manager, Hauling Division at TFC. "What we needed was a global view of the business, so we can make intelligent, timely business decisions.”
Like in many industries, technology is an extremely important part of the business. The right kind of technology landscape can help managers monitor and improve the dynamics of fleet operations—
from routing, communicating with drivers to using RFID and fleetmonitoring technology, and verifying services for customers.

We were looking to upgrade our technology to something that would essentially bring us into the 21st Century.” When TFC leadership decided to upgrade and integrate the company’s aging and disparate software, they spoke with counterparts in the industry and investigated many different solutions, but as they got into the details of needs and solutions, it became clear that AMCS would be the right solution for them.
