Case Study: Gillson Solutions streamlines operations and builds a scalable, connected tech stack with Turvo and Parade

Gillson Solutions had a clear checklist of traits they’d need in new foundational pieces of their tech stack

Gillson Solutions, a Stockton, CA–based freight brokerage, set out in 2021 to replace a truckload-focused TMS that wasn’t built for brokerage workflows. Their coordinators were bogged down by manual tendering, spreadsheets, and fragmented tools, so the team looked for an easy-to-use, connected, relationship-focused platform and ultimately selected Turvo (alongside Parade) to better support carrier onboarding, search, and scalability.

Turvo’s Collaboration Cloud, paired with Parade’s capacity management and carrier profiles, was implemented to unite carrier data, streamline information sharing, and provide API connectivity across Gillson’s tech stack. The combined solution delivered a more intuitive UI, high-powered search, and built-in automation that reduced manual work, sped onboarding and daily tasks, supported stronger carrier relationships, and enabled quicker ROI while helping Gillson scale without proportionally increasing headcount. Turvo’s platform was central to those improvements.
