How Kansas City's PolySource and Dynamic Logistix teamed up to provide hassle-free shipping

PolySource isn't just another plastic resin distributor; they're problem solvers, helping companies find the right plastic solutions for everything from automotive parts to medical devices. Even the most innovative companies continually look for ways to improve efficiency and deliver even greater value to their customers. The challenge There are some things we don't understand — like, let's say, 'helping a company search for a material for microplates for high-throughput screening that provides clarity to withstand ultraviolet ray transmission.' We'll leave that to the experts at PolySource. When we learned there was room to enhance certain areas of their shipping process, we saw a great opportunity to support PolySource's ongoing commitment to operational excellence. Some of those challenges included: A need to increase shipment visibility in real-time A desire to accelerate quoting processes to better serve customers An interest in leveraging data to drive even smarter logistics decisions A holistic shipping solution Rarely is any solution one-size-fits-all. Instead of trying to change everything, DLX first worked to understand PolySource's shipping needs, find out what was working (and leave that alone), and identify the areas where new solutions would streamline their operations. We found that XTMS, our transportation management system, would give PolySource the power of real-time data, fast quoting, and a user-friendly dashboard that would save their logistics team time, resources and money. 1. Faster quotes = happier customers Previously, the quoting process required more manual steps, which could delay responses during high-demand periods. With XTMS, PolySource could enter a few details and get pricing and transit times in less than a minute. 2. A dedicated account manager and support team Yes, technology in 2025 is remarkable, but it isn't nearly as impactful without a support team behind it. Our account managers learned PolySource's operations from top to bottom – like which lanes made the most sense and how to solve shipping issues before they became shipping nightmares. 3. Smarter shipping, powered by data With XTMS, PolySource can now: See real-time shipping data with live GPS tracking Make better decisions on warehouse locations Optimize transportation routes for cost and speed 4. Tailored to PolySource Every business is different. That's why we tailored our XTMS technology specifically for PolySource's needs – from incorporating preferred carriers to optimizing shipments and customizing reports. The partnership between PolySource and Dynamic Logistix is a win for two of Kansas City's hometown businesses. PolySource evolved its shipping process from manual coordination to a streamlined, data-driven system with: Faster responses to customers More visibility into shipments Fewer headaches and logistical roadblocks A more flexible, scalable supply chain that grows with them And DLX gained a trusted, valued partner and a team of entrepreneurs who push our local KC economy and the plastics industry forward. We even learned the perfect material used for microplates for high-throughput screening that provides clarity to withstand ultraviolet ray transmission. (We think.)
