This enhancement automates shipping functions in Plex from 3PL information in real-time saving shipping costs to OFI, their customers, and improving delivery lead times.

It has given us the ability to manage by exception as we look to integrate more third-party providers and trust our technology to do the work.” said Marcus Merchant, Director of IT at OFI.
“We developed the GR8T Platform with the focus of streamlining processes, providing connectivity between various software systems that is easily configurable, scalable, and deployable in weeks or even days.
