This partnership with AscendTMS gives any broker the number one rated digital TMS software for free, and gives Axle customers a competitive advantage.”

Our goal is to provide a real digital advantage to AscendTMS users with this Axle integration, which makes running any brokerage business easier and much more profitable. This joint Axle and AscendTMS offering provides a solution for companies that wish to lower costs, increase profits and to find better freight - and to do it all electronically,” said Tim Higham, president of AscendTMS. “During our soft launch of the Axle and AscendTMS, 84 freight brokers took up the free TMS and digital funding offering.”
