Less-Than-Truckload (LTL) freight has never been simple. With Revenova TMS and SMC³, that’s changing.
For freight brokers and 3PLs, managing LTL often means navigating carrier-specific pricing, accessorials, tendering processes, tracking requirements, and documentation — all while trying to respond quickly to customers and protect margins. And as LTL volume grows, those individual processes can become time-consuming and complex.
Revenova TMS and SMC³ simplify that complexity by bringing everything together into one connected workflow; so you no longer have to worry about more carrier portals, more manual work, or more room for delays or errors.
With SMC³’s LTL APIs integrated into Revenova TMS, brokers can quote, tender, dispatch, track, and retrieve shipment documentation without constantly moving between disconnected systems.
The result is a more connected LTL workflow that helps teams quote faster, reduce operational complexity, and manage shipments without constantly leaving their TMS.
The Challenge: LTL Complexity Adds Up
LTL pricing and execution involve more variables than many other transportation modes.
A single shipment may require teams to account for carrier-specific pricing, contract or volume rates, shipment characteristics, accessorial charges, and other requirements. Once a load is booked, the operational complexity continues with dispatch, PRO assignment, status updates, tracking, and documentation.
When every carrier requires a separate connection or workflow, that complexity falls on the brokerage team.
And for brokers, time spent navigating those processes is time that could otherwise be spent quoting new opportunities, communicating with customers, and building carrier and customer relationships.
For LTL-focused brokers and 3PLs, the challenge isn’t simply finding a rate: It’s managing the entire shipment efficiently after the quote.
A More Complete LTL Workflow
SMC³ is an industry-leading provider of LTL technology and data, with more than 5,000 companies across North America relying on its LTL solutions. Its cloud platform handles millions of transactions every day, supporting pricing, transit planning, shipment visibility, and other parts of the LTL lifecycle.
Through the expanded integration, Revenova deeply integrates SMC³ across the LTL shipment lifecycle.
That means brokerage customers can now use a single SMC³ connection within Revenova TMS for:
- Quoting
- Automated PRO assignment
- Dispatch
- Status notifications
- Document notifications
The integration builds on previously available SMC³ functionality in Revenova, including RateWare XL and CarrierConnect XL, while adding new SMC³ LTL API quoting capabilities introduced with Revenova’s Spring ’26 release.
Instead of forcing teams to manage each step independently, Revenova and SMC³ connect those processes together within the TMS.
More Flexible LTL Pricing, Right Where You Quote
One of the biggest advantages of the new SMC³ LTL API functionality is expanded pricing capability.
For brokers, that means more flexibility to access the pricing they need as part of their existing quoting workflow.
SMC³’s broader LTL rating infrastructure also provides access to 4,000+ carrier tariffs, helping organizations manage the complexity of pricing across a large carrier network.
That matters because the more carrier relationships a brokerage manages, the more difficult it can become to maintain a consistent, efficient quoting process. So instead of building individual processes around each carrier, the integration provides a more standardized way to bring LTL pricing into Revenova.
And because SMC³’s CarrierConnect XL data is automatically included with every pricing response, teams can quote against the same data the carrier is using.
The integration also includes built-in overlength logic that automatically applies carrier-specific accessorials when shipment dimensions exceed applicable thresholds.
For brokers and 3PLs, that means fewer opportunities for pricing surprises once the shipment is already in motion.
Faster Quotes = More Won Freight
When a customer is waiting for an LTL quote, every additional step can slow down the opportunity.
The longer it takes to get a carrier response, the longer it takes to get a quote back to the customer.
And when customers are comparing options, waiting on a rate can mean losing the opportunity altogether.
SMC³’s RateWare platform has helped 3PLs like Jarrett Logistics reduce its average quote time by 75% after implementing RateWare Plus; supporting the that more automated LTL rating can have on quoting workflows.
The takeaway here is: The less time your team spends searching for rates, the more time they have to respond to customers and pursue new business.
From Quote to Delivery: Never Leave the TMS Again
The value of the integration extends beyond pricing.
Once a shipment is quoted, Revenova and SMC³ support the next stages of the LTL workflow through automated PRO assignment, dispatch, status notifications, and document notifications.
This creates a more connected process from the initial quote through delivery and documentation.
Instead of jumping between carrier portals to find updates or retrieve documents, teams can work from the information available within their Revenova workflow.
For operations teams, that can mean less time spent searching for shipment information and fewer manual touchpoints throughout the life of an LTL shipment.
For customers, it means your team spends less time tracking down answers, and more time providing them.
Stop Operating With Complex LTL Workflows
Every carrier is going to have its own requirements, and every shipment is going to have different pricing, accessorials, transit times, and documentation that needs some extra attention, but this integration is here to provide you with the technology you need to manage all of that complexity in a much simpler way.
What does this integration do for you?
- Better access to LTL pricing.
- Less processes to manage.
- More shipment information directly in the TMS.
- A simpler way to manage complex LTL shipments as your business grows.
Because when your team spends less time managing the complexity behind every shipment, they have more time for what actually drives a brokerage forward:
✅ Quoting customers. ✅ Winning freight. ✅ Building relationships. ✅ Growing the business.
The Revenova + SMC³ integration is particularly valuable for organizations managing significant LTL volume and multiple carrier relationships.
Quote faster. Stay connected. Keep LTL moving.
