SPOTLIGHT: Scott McDevitt to Speak at 3PL Technovations

Scott McDevitt started his career in the transportation industry 30 years ago working for Roadway Express before moving on to start his own fully managed 3PL more than 20 years agp. Seeing the challenges facing the industry regarding technology, McDevitt founded Propel Sofware Solutions, and is focused on building a TMS that utilizes his years of logistic industry knowledge. The Propel TMS is focused on bringing together disparate sets of abilities and tools and syncs them to offer the end-users with a seamless, comprehensive, and intuitive platform.

Scott resides in Pennsylvania with his wife Wendy and five children. In his free time, he enjoys fishing, hiking, and hunting with his kids and watching Philadelphia Eagles' games most Sundays. He also enjoys reading self-improvement books and is involved in a variety of world missions.

We asked Scott to tell us what’s on his mind.

“My initial thought is talking about the market shift from transactional to fully managed (enterprise), said McDevitt. "If you don’t change, you won’t be in business, because the carriers are coming after the transactional through various TMS providers like Kuebix.” he said. McDevitt founded and has managed Translogistics, Inc. for the past 24 years. Along with Tim Thomas (architect of Propel TMS), the two are available to explain how companies can use a TMS to secure larger enterprise prospects, create stickiness for their  current customers and offer better value-added services.

Technovations in Tucson November 6-7 to meet Scott. There is strict seating capacity for this event and spots are going fast. Don’t be left out.
