Case Study: Van-Kam Freightways improves LTL visibility and accuracy with Profound Logic

Van-Kam Freightways digitizes 35+ years of IBM i operations with Profound Logic

Van-Kam Freightways, a long-standing leader in less than truckload logistics, faced the challenge of modernizing its critical "POOL" system for tracking trucks and trailers. This process was entirely manual, relying on large whiteboards and physical tags that were often inaccurate and time-consuming to update. The company needed a reliable, scalable digital solution that would integrate with its established IBM i platform, which led them to partner with Profound Logic.

To address this, Profound Logic implemented its Profound UI solution to fully digitize the POOL system. This replaced the whiteboards with a single, real-time screen that provided immediate visibility into equipment locations. The solution delivered improved accuracy, eliminated manual effort, and provided scalable operational visibility without disrupting Van-Kam's core systems. Profound Logic's tools were also used to develop custom Android apps for forklift operators and drivers, further reducing paper use and streamlining pickup and delivery processes.
