MercuryGate University
In today's job market, you want to give your students every advantage. Not just a college degree, but an understanding of real-world problems and appropriate solutions. At MercuryGate, we've been solving transportation problems for leading shippers and third-party logistics companies since 2000 and were among the first to offer transportation software in a SaaS model. We support over 90,000 users each day on our applications and over 200 different customers, 75% of whom are logistics service providers with their own customers.
Now we're taking on a new challenge—a program we call "MercuryGate University," and it's designed to promote the use of leading edge logistics tools in classrooms across the country and to train the supply chain leaders of tomorrow. Students and faculty can use the full suite of MercuryGate Transportation Management Systems (TMS) —including our route optimizer—to model and solve realistic business challenges.
We'll provide our software to you, free of charge, to use with your students or for your own projects. We'll even provide training and help you configure the software to support your syllabus.
