Your Freight Cost Is Decided Before the Invoice Arrives
Transport gets booked across a spreadsheet, a phone and a handful of carrier portals — and by the time the invoice lands, the cost of that shipment was fixed weeks ago. 3T EVENT TMS brings carrier selection, planning, tracking and performance into one system, so the decision is made on data rather than habit.
The Carrier You Pick at 8am Sets the Cost of the Whole Day
Most transport teams are not short of carriers. They are short of a way to compare them at the moment the booking is made. 3T EVENT TMS puts rates, capacity, transit times and past performance in front of the planner while the decision is still open — then records what actually happened, so the next decision is better informed than the last one.
Built for Operations That Do Not Own the Fleet
If your goods move on other people’s vehicles, the problem is not routing — it is choice, control and evidence. 3T has spent 25 years building for shippers, carriers and 3PLs who manage that problem daily, across food and beverage, FMCG, automotive, industrial machinery and building products.
Four Problems, One Platform
Carrier Selection on Cost and Performance
Compare rates, capacity and transit times across a library of more than 450 carriers, and book the one that fits the shipment rather than the one you always use.
3D Load Building
An AI-assisted load builder arranges trailers, containers, pallets and user-defined spaces, so you stop paying to move air.
On-Demand Carrier Capacity
Reach vetted carriers already onboarded to the platform when your regular hauliers are full, without starting a sourcing exercise from scratch.
Rate Comparison and Tendering
Run tenders and compare quotes inside the system that already holds your shipment history, so the rate you agree is the rate you measure against.
Live Shipment Tracking
Status, location and estimated arrival at every stage of transit, so customer service can answer the question before the customer asks it.
Electronic Proof of Delivery
Drivers capture signatures, photographs and delivery notes in the INCAB app, so disputes are settled with evidence rather than recollection.
Centralised Transport Planning
Our planners run your daily transport on the EVENT platform, taking the workload off an operations team that is already stretched.
Carrier Tender and Management
Carrier sourcing, tendering, performance reviews and continuous improvement, delivered as a service against measures you agree up front.
What Changed After the Spreadsheet Went
Every operation starts somewhere different — a wholesaler with forty carriers, a manufacturer with three. What the stories share is the point where transport decisions stopped being one person’s knowledge and became something the whole team could see.
The Numbers Came From Their Own Operations
Where a figure appears below, the customer measured it in their own operation and agreed to publish it. Read the full story to see what was in scope.
Built by People Who Ran the Transport First
3T started in Leicester in 2000 and grew up managing transport for other businesses as much as selling software to them. That order matters. The EVENT platform came out of the daily work of booking carriers, chasing collections and arguing over invoices, which is why it is organised around decisions rather than modules. In 2023 3T became part of Aptean, adding scale, security and a wider supply chain portfolio behind the same platform and the same team.
Software on Its Own Rarely Fixes a Transport Problem
Some operations need a system and a planner who knows how to use it. Others need the function run for them. 3T does both — EVENT as software you licence, and managed transport services where our team tenders, plans and books on your behalf. The same platform sits underneath both, so moving between them later does not mean changing systems.
