Tim Higham Biography

Tim was widely credited in the 1990s for modernizing the heavily paper-reliant insurance sector by harnessing the Internet to make the transaction nearly paperless. He switched to the transportation and logistics industry after selling IRC, Inc. in 1998 and founded Interstate Logistics Group by fusing "new school" technology with an "old school" philosophy. Tim transformed the paper-intensive transportation sector in a similar way to how he altered the insurance business. With revenue per employee more than eight times the national industry average, Interstate has developed into one of the most specialized third-party logistics organizations in the United States. Tim used the technology platform he created, AscendTMS, to help any freight broker, trucking firm, or shipper that wanted to use the most recent technology for their distribution needs once Interstate was sold. AscendTMS, the first genuinely cloud-based logistics software, has grown to be the most well-known transportation management system (TMS) in the world. One of Tim's most well-liked topics is how new technology is lowering the cost and friction of freight movements, how technology like delivery drones, driverless trucks, and robotic warehouses are removing labor from the supply chain, and the advantages and dangers these technologies pose to trucking and freight movements. Higham also covers the evolving logistics and freight costs in the United States, predicted logistical problems brought on by demographic changes, and the role that third-party logistics businesses (3PLs) will play in connecting shippers and truckers over the next few decades. Currently, Mr. Higham serves as president and chief executive officer of InMotion Global, Inc., a renowned provider of software for the logistics industry. He graduated with honors from Coventry University in England with a degree in mathematical economics. Mr. Higham is a Chartered Property Casualty Underwriter and in 1989, HRH Prince Philip bestowed upon him the renowned Duke of Edinburgh Award. Author of two books on the electronic distribution of financial services, Insurance In The 21st Century - Can You Compete and The Winds Of Change - Electronic Commerce In The Financial Services Industry, he has frequently appeared on nationally broadcast television discussing logistics technology issues. Tim was well-known in the financial services sector throughout the 1990s as a specialist in electronic commerce and online financial instrument delivery systems. In order to reduce costs, boost earnings, and eliminate friction in the movement of freight, he is revolutionizing how logistics and transportation operations are carried out. He does this by leveraging his skills in "changing your thinking." His business has not only created novel ideas for logistics management but has also demonstrated the viability of those ideas by dominating the global market for logistics (TMS) software. just a few may say the following about their achievement in the two industries Tim's "transform your thinking" approach to issues enables individuals to envision solutions that, with the proper dedication and execution, really work.
