American Group Founding Story with Michael Schember

December 22, 2020

3PL Live sits down with, Mike Schember, long time 3PL Systems TMS customer American Group to talk about their founding Story.

If you enjoy our content please like, follow or share. We appreciate it.

In this episode, I speak with Michael Schember of American Group about meeting his Co-Founder Daniel Krivickas at West Ex a YRC startup.

We learn that American group is up 100% YOY in Revenue during covid times. They have been shipping a lot of alcohol and PPE.

Mike wanted to better control his customer experience by paying for an invoice if needed by a carrier. Carriers have expense accounts for entertainment, but it’s harder to get an invoice waived if you’re a carrier sales rep.

In their early days, Schember and Krivickas would work in the kitchen with manual processes, a pen, paper, and phones in the early days. They created Bill of Ladings in Microsoft Word, but that wasn’t scalable. Six months in, they invested in 3PL Systems, a TMS.

They wanted to make sure they had a business before investing in software. American Group now has 32 full-time employees and 60 sales agents. I enjoyed speaking with Mike as he’s down to earth and a great business leader.
