Sargento Transportation LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of Sargento Foods Inc, has implemented Sterling Transportation Management. The on-demand software works with Sargento's supply chain applications and Sterling Collaboration Network to automate its freight and invoicing processes, enabling the company to improve logistics efficiency.

Sterling Transportation Management provides access to a 6,400-member carrier network and applications that enable Sargento to view, plan, execute, settle, and analyze its inbound and outbound transportation.

With the addition of Sterling Transportation Management, Sargento can automate its entire order-to-shipment process for orders placed through the Sterling Collaboration Network. The orders are accepted by Sargento's order management application and automatically fed into the Sterling Transportation Management system for transportation planning. Then the plan is sent through the order management application to the warehouse management application for freight loading.
