About CTSI-Global
CTSI-Global has been accredited with the Better Business Bureau since 1981.[1] J. Kenneth Hazen acquired the company in 1982. Since that time, CTSI-Global has developed from a manual freight bill audit and payment operation into a global supply chain technology and services company.
CTSI-Global processes over $10 billion in Sarbanes-Oxley-compliant payments annually for tens of thousands of carriers and hundreds of quality clients from many industries, including Fortune 500 companies and 3PLs. The company offers hundreds of terabytes of online data storage, equivalent to 500 million shipments.[2][3] CTSI-Global boasts that it can save its clients 10-30% of their transportation costs.[4]
