Synter Resource Group
Transportation BlogSynter Resource Group is an international business process outsourcing (BPO) company serving the transportation and logistics industry. With a fresh start in 2002, Synter grew from what was once a collections agency into a BPO that got to the root of the problem behind the collections they sought to collect. Mike Daugherty, Co-Founder and VP, credits this fruitful change to an epiphany he had while thinking about how to best serve Synter’s customer base. Instead of trying to connect with them over something negative in their customer’s eyes, Synter could help those same people completely avoid needing a debt collections agency to begin with. Because of this, Synter Resource Group successfully works to prevent incorrect and delayed billing processes before they even happen.
The talented staff at Synter Resource Group has seamlessly handled the back-office processes of 30+ blue chip companies in the transportation industry since 2002. The company is expanding to meet the needs of trucking companies and freight brokers in the small or midsize transportation space.
With 100+ years of combined tenure in the transportation & logistics industry, Synter’s dedicated staff is able to serve all modes of transportation, which include the following:
- 3PL’s, Brokerage,
- Freight Forwarding,
- Railroads,
- Container Carriers,
- NVOCC,
- Chassis Leasing,
- Less than Truckload (LTL),
- Truckload (TL),
- Drayage, Intermodal,
- Equipment Rental and Leasing,

- Bulk Commodity and Fuel,
- Air Cargo, and
- Small Package Express and Ground.
We help our clients accelerate revenue, maximize productivity, and improve communications between sales, customer service, and carrier/driver procurement teams — all of which are vital for smooth, timely transportation projects.
Over the years, Synter Resource Group has been repeatedly recognized as a leading BPO company in transportation and logistics. We are a BBB-accredited company and we were named as one of INC 5000’s Fastest Growing Small Businesses in 2012. We were also recognized in INC 5000’s Fastest Growing Small Businesses in 2016 (list pending) and in the South Carolina Top Workplaces 2017 program.
In today’s rapidly changing business world, Synter Resource Group’s transportation and logistics services have not diminished nor lost any relevance amongst certain demographics. It is more important than ever that companies in the industry continue to not only provide high-quality services, but also implement new technologies to increase their own functionality and profitability. That’s where Synter steps in — and we are proud to quickly and efficiently take the reins for any and all business processes in the transportation and logistics industry.
