3PL Systems Announces New Integration with Chain to Power AI-Driven Logistics Operations

Tustin, CA – April 13, 2026 – 3PL Systems, Inc, a leading transportation management system (TMS) provider for freight brokers and third-party logistics companies, announced a new integration with Chain, an innovative operations platform designed to help logistics teams run leaner and more efficiently through automation, visibility, and streamlined workflows.

Chain delivers an integrated suite of tools that enables logistics operations teams to automate manual processes, improve real-time visibility, and simplify coordination across internal teams and external partners. The platform’s mission is clear: empower freight teams to increase revenue and margins without increasing operational overhead.

At the core of the integration is Chain’s Autopilot, an AI-powered operations agent that automates repetitive workflows such as tracking and booking. By replacing fragmented tools and manual processes with intelligent automation, Autopilot ensures systems stay in sync while reducing the burden on operations teams.

In addition to Autopilot, Chain’s platform includes:

  • Tracking: Real-time visibility into shipments, assets, and operational performance through mobile capabilities, 70+ ELD integrations, and automated tracking link enablement.

  • Booking: A streamlined solution for managing carrier offers, selection, and communication, simplifying the carrier sales process from start to finish.

Through this integration, 3PL Systems customers can leverage Chain’s capabilities directly within their existing workflows, eliminating inefficiencies and unlocking new levels of productivity.

“Freight brokers shouldn’t have to choose between automation and their TMS," said Kevin Coomes 孔凯文, CRO at Chain. "Through our partnership with 3PL Systems, Chain’s Autopilot can directly interact with Brokerware to read operational data, automate workflows, and write updates back into the system. This integration moves the industry closer to a future where AI works alongside brokers inside the tools they already rely on.”

“Chain aligns perfectly with our commitment to helping logistics providers scale smarter,” said Cameron Robertson, CEO at 3PL Systems. “By integrating AI-driven visibility into our platform, that works out-of-the-box, we’re enabling our customers to do more with less without sacrificing service quality.”

Customers using Chain report saving an estimated 15-20+ hours per representative each week by automating time-consuming tasks like track and trace and carrier booking. These efficiencies allow teams to manage more loads, increase revenue, and improve margins, all without adding headcount.

The integration underscores 3PL Systems’ ongoing investment in innovation and its mission to provide customers with cutting-edge tools that drive operational excellence in an increasingly competitive logistics landscape.
