Most companies managing their supply chain are living in six different platforms and can't get a clear picture of what's actually happening with their freight.If your logistics stack requires six additional software licenses just to function, you're not alone - and there's a better way.

In this episode of IT Unplugged, Brandon sits down with Tyler Shanle, Director of Solutions at M2 Logistics, to talk about what's broken in the TMS industry and how Encompass - M2 Logistics' total supply chain management solution - is being built to fix it.

Tyler brings 15 years of logistics and supply chain experience across global enterprises and small-to-mid-market shippers. He breaks down why most TMS platforms force customers to conform to their standards, why small and mid-sized businesses deserve enterprise-grade tools without enterprise price tags, and what questions every shipper should be asking before signing a TMS contract.
In this episode:

• What makes Encompass different from every other TMS on the market
• Why most TMS providers are only selling you the core - and hiding the real cost of add-ons
• How M2 Logistics' 3PL experience gives them insight no pure software company has
• What M2 Waypoint is and why seamless ERP and e-commerce integration changes everything
• The one question every shipper should ask a TMS vendor before buying
• How real-time visibility actually works in practice
• How clean data and API integration are setting the foundation for AI in logistics

If you're managing freight on spreadsheets, drowning in disconnected platforms, or just wondering if there is a better way, this episode is for you.
