Strong Tower Consulting Marks More Than 18 Years of Independent Freight Technology Advisory

MINNEAPOLIS, Minn. - Strong Tower Consulting, LLC, an independent freight transportation technology consulting firm founded in Minnesota in 2008 by Scott Elliott, today recognized more than 18 years of continuous operational advisory for motor carriers, freight brokerages, and private fleets across North America.

Named after Proverbs 18:10 ("The name of the LORD is a strong tower; the righteous run into it and are safe"), the firm was established to provide motor carriers with an unshakeable, vendor-neutral partner during technology transitions, TMS migrations, and back-office bottlenecks.

"In transportation, software vendors constantly pressure carriers into expensive system replacements that disrupt operations and blow budgets," said Scott Elliott, Founder and President of Strong Tower Consulting. "We built Strong Tower on an entirely different premise: analyze the company through technology, streamline how the business operates, and get maximum financial yield from the software systems the carrier already owns."

Core Practice Expansion

Over nearly two decades of operation, Strong Tower Consulting has expanded its specialized practice areas to address the evolving operational landscape of commercial transportation:

• TMS Selection & Advisory: Independent evaluations without vendor kickbacks, helping carriers benchmark McLeod, Trimble, Rose Rocket, Turvo, and cloud TMS options.
• Trimble Truckmate & Legacy TMS Optimization: Deep database-level support, custom Crystal Reports development, and data migration planning for veteran carriers.
• SQL Data Mining & Lane Profitability: Direct database extraction of revenue leakage, unbilled freight, driver detention, and customer margin.
• Touchless Billing & Driver Settlements: Streamlining order-to-cash workflows, factoring reconciliation, and direct REST syncing to Sage Intacct and QuickBooks.
• Fractional Freight CIO Leadership: Providing strategic executive technology guidance for fleets navigating growth, telematics upgrades, and carrier M&A due diligence.
