Logistics Technology Specialist

Job Description

Job Description

At SimPL Freight Solutions , we simplify transportation for companies that move a lot of freight but don't want the headache of managing it all themselves. We step in as their transportation team - coordinating shipments, managing carrier relationships, tracking performance, and improving how everything runs behind the scenes. 

Our customers range from large manufacturers to high-volume distributors across industries like automotive, building materials, food, and packaging. No matter the industry, the goal is the same: keep freight moving smoothly, efficiently, and without surprises. 

We pride ourselves on being proactive, responsive, and accountable - anticipating issues, communicating clearly, and continuously finding better ways to deliver results.

Hours: M-F, 8am-5pm  

Location: Onsite in Raleigh, NC

• Coordinate with software vendors, technical partners, and internal stakeholders on system enhancements, integrations, and troubleshooting.
• Help design, test, implement, and support technology solutions, including system configurations, interfaces, and workflow changes.
• Develop reports and improve access to information that helps teams manage their work and make decisions.
• Create documentation and help users understand and adopt new systems, features, and processes.
• Stay about relevant technology and recommend tools or improvements that could benefit the business.
• Build an understanding of transportation and logistics operations and how our systems support employees, customers, and business goals.
• Contribute to additional technology and systems initiatives as priorities evolve. 

What You'll Bring  

• Bachelor's degree in Information Systems, Information Technology, Business, or a related field required
• Experience working with business systems, technology implementations, or systems improvement projects
• Hands-on Salesforce experience as an administrator or advanced user, including experience supporting workflows, reporting, or system configuration
• Experience owning or executing technology projects, with the ability to organize work, manage competing priorities, and follow through on deliverables
• Strong problem-solving skills and the ability to translate business needs into clear requirements and practical solutions
• Clear communication skills and the ability to work with both technical and nontechnical teams.
• Comfort working across multiple platforms and learning unfamiliar systems
• A proactive approach, attention to detail, and willingness to take on a variety of responsibilities 

Preferred Experience  

• Experience in transportation, logistics, brokerage, or managed transportation
• Familiarity with transportation management systems, particularly Salesforce-based platforms such as Revenova
• Experience with software integrations, workflow automation, system testing, or user training
• Salesforce Administrator certification or relevant project management training 

Core Values
