RIST-AMA Transport is Improving Management Efficiency, Cost Savings and Customer Satisfaction

LTL carrier is realizing benefits across combined operations from adopting FACTS from CLI

ELMSFORD, N.Y., April 24, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Carrier Logistics Inc. (CLI), a leading provider of freight management software for Less-Than-Truckload (LTL) fleets, today announced that RIST-AMA Transport has implemented CLI FACTS across its consolidated LTL operation.

RIST-AMA Transport implemented FACTS in October 2023 and is now using the freight management software at 15 terminals to support the operation of 282 tractors and 445 trailers. RIST Transport Ltd., headquartered in Phelps, New York, acquired AMA Transportation Company, Inc. of Billerica, Massachusetts in June 2023.

“We were using another management system at RIST Transport, but it wasn’t designed specifically for LTL operations,” said Gabrielle Wadhams Simmons, director of business operations. “AMA Transportation had been using FACTS, which is geared for LTL operations, so it made sense to move everything to Carrier Logistics’ solution.”

Following the integration of AMA Transportation’s four terminals into its freight network, RIST-AMA Transport turned to CLI to streamline operations and enhance efficiency. CLI’s advanced software solutions enabled the seamless consolidation of processes, effectively managing the increased freight volume while also facilitating the incorporation of critical customer data. By automating key processes and ensuring smooth data integration, CLI helped support their continued growth and operational success.

“With CLI’s support, the launch of FACTS at RIST-AMA Transport was expedited and now our entire operations and management team is working as one company,” Simmons added. “We’re also realizing efficiency, cost saving and customer satisfaction benefits with FACTS.”

RIST-AMA Transport is now using FACTS dispatch, driver management, dock management and routing modules, an integrated imaging solution for delivery paperwork, and back-office suite features. The carrier is also taking advantage of the CLI LOC-AI dispatch planning tool for identifying types of customer locations.

Once, these core solutions were integrated, CLI helped RIST-AMA Transport further their goal of replacing manual processes with automated solutions by implementing, among other modules, CLI’s Automated Appointments system that provides customers with real-time text updates on the status of their freight and appointment confirmation to manage final mile delivery operations more efficiently and effectively.

“Throughout the process, CLI asked the right questions and provided a phenomenal project manager to guide us as RIST Transport and AMA Transportation became one company on one freight management system,” Simmons said. “They are very open to feedback and are still finding ways to help us optimize and improve our operation with FACTS.”

Wadhams Enterprises, founded in 1949, is a third generation owned and operated company that includes RIST-AMA Transport, truckload division RIST Transport Ltd., petroleum hauler ARG Trucking Corp., and Earl T. Wadhams Inc., a bulk food grade products carrier. RIST-AMA Transport provides a range of next-day and second-day distribution and delivery services throughout the Northeast, along with services to the Midwest and Southeastern coast through partner carriers.

“We’re very pleased to hear how CLI has been instrumental in bringing the operations at RIST-AMA Transport together so quickly and effectively,” said Ben Wiesen, president of Carrier Logistics. “We designed FACTS to meet the needs of LTL carriers, and their experience tells us we continue to make the right development choices. Going forward we are ready to support their ongoing growth.”

Carrier Logistics FACTS™ is the premier solution for meeting the unique transportation and freight management needs of asset-based LTL carriers and the last mile industry. FACTS includes online customer shipping tools, dispatch and driver management, a superior rate engine, cross dock management, and a full back-office suite that gives transportation professionals the tools they need to operate cost-effectively while providing improved freight visibility to their customers.

Chelsea FC name fast-growing fintech platform as Principal Partner

LONDON, Oct. 23, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Chelsea Football Club has today announced a multi-year partnership with Sokin, the embedded finance and payments company used by businesses worldwide. Sokin will be named a Principal Partner and Official Business Payments and FX Partner of Chelsea FC and Chelsea FC Women.

As a Principal Partner, Sokin will be represented on the sleeves of the Chelsea FC men’s, women’s and academy home, away, and third kits from the 2026/27 season.

The partnership brings together two ambitious London-headquartered organisations with worldwide reach – a club with millions of fans across the world and a fintech platform through which businesses move more than $11 billion a year. A club of Chelsea’s scale works in many currencies every day, with partners, competitions and supporters around the world, and needs a financial partner built to handle that.

Sokin gives finance teams business payments, multi-currency accounts, foreign exchange, checkout and treasury in one place, so they spend less time juggling banks and providers and keep more of what they move.

As Official Business Payments and FX Partner, Sokin will simplify how Chelsea FC sends, receives and manages money in the currencies the club operates in.

The Sokin logo will feature on the sleeve of the Chelsea shirt for the first time [when the men’s team host Tottenham Hotspur at Stamford Bridge on Saturday 24th October.]

Jason Gannon, President at Chelsea FC said:

“At Chelsea, we seek to partner with organisations that share our ambition and innovative mindset. Sokin’s expertise in business payments, and their focus on making both simpler for the businesses they serve, makes them a natural fit for the Club. We are pleased to welcome Sokin to the Chelsea family and look forward to working together in the years ahead.”

Vroon Modgill, CEO and founder at Sokin said:

“Chelsea plays on the biggest stage in world football, and its business runs in dozens of currencies. Sokin was built for that with regulated, multi-currency payments and foreign exchange for organisations that operate internationally. We’re proud to be the platform behind the business payments and FX of one of the most iconic teams in football. Sokin’s platform serves businesses in more than 170 countries. We’re thrilled to be partners for the season ahead. An organisation as sophisticated as Chelsea doesn’t leave its finances to chance.”

About Sokin

Sokin is the financial layer global business runs on. Businesses can transact, convert and hold money in 70+ currencies across 170+ countries. Some businesses use Sokin to manage global finance in-house. Others build it into their products to power financial experiences for their customers.

About Chelsea Football Club

Chelsea Football Club is one of the biggest, most successful football clubs globally and our men’s team are reigning world champions, having won the four-yearly FIFA Club World Cup in 2025. Our women’s team, Chelsea Women, are also multiple trophy winners.

Founded in 1905, Chelsea is London’s most central football club, based at the iconic 40,000-capacity Stamford Bridge stadium. Nicknamed the Blues, the club lifted the Champions League for the first time in 2012 and domestically has won the Premier League five times, the FA Cup eight times, the Football League Cup five times and the Football League Championship once, in 1955.

The Chelsea Women’s team have enjoyed a huge amount of success and in 2025 won the FA Women’s Super League for a sixth consecutive year and the eighth time overall. The Women’s FA Cup has been won on six occasions. We have also captured the FA Women’s League Cup four times as well as reaching the UEFA Women’s Champions League final in 2021.
