Vindication takes time. While a generation of 3PL vendors were pouring millions into closed-end, proprietary systems, TLC has continued to pursue a Best-of-Breed strategy regarding IT platforms.

The results are clear. All credible industry analysts agree that it is simply not possible for independent development to match the quality and complexity of the top products available today.

Most investments into closed, proprietary systems are simply anchors in the past. Meanwhile, those who have embraced the marketplace of open solutions are well positioned for the future.

TLC is committed to a Best of Breed approach to all substantive technology platforms. This commitment is evident in each system and platform we deploy.

All technology investments will some day be viewed as anchors to the past. The goal is to design and implement solutions that offer not only scalability and extensibility but enable flexibility, redeployment and unexpected mission evolution.

Best of Breed technologies
Our Best of Breed philosophy embraces open architectures and common platforms. By minimizing proprietary platforms and closed systems we create systems solutions that can evolve with your business needs and changing competitive landscape.

Portability: Creating solutions from open systems and common platforms also gives our customers maximum portability. Change is inevitable. Your systems architecture should anticipate portability.

Scalability: As the intensity and breadth of your mission evolves, can your systems expand in a robust fashion? Data points grow exponentially in a supply chain. Scalability in this environment is critical to long term platform success.
