We are 3 Strand Solutions.
A Lakeland-based software company with more than two decades of mission-critical development behind it, now built around one industry: the logistics operators whose freight runs on systems they can no longer staff. We take custody of those systems and keep them moving — through the next customer, the next regulation, and the next decade.
Three strands, one mission.
“A cord of three strands is not quickly broken.”
Ecclesiastes 4:12This three-strand unity is the foundation of our collaborative approach to software development. 3 Strand Solutions, our clients, and God form a strong bond that drives successful projects and lasting relationships — the kind measured in decades of custody rather than contract terms. Our name symbolizes strength and resilience, and our clients deserve work that is built to last.
To honor Christ by using the gifts He has given us to develop transformative solutions that help our clients operate more effectively and profitably.
We are a trusted partner for mission-critical software. Our track record is in working with mature companies to revitalize their older platforms — meeting today’s expectations while keeping their core strengths — with an approach designed to minimize risk, reduce downtime, and move from legacy to modern without stopping the business. Today that work is focused on the freight brokers, 3PLs, carriers, warehouses, and maritime operators of the Eastern and Central time zones.
Trust, a tailored discovery process, and experienced continual learners.
Built on trust
Long-term relationships with clients and team members, through clear communication, transparency, and delivering on our promises. Our clients stay with us for 10+ years, with our oldest account at now over 2 decades.
Tailored discovery
Every client is unique, and so is the process. We invest the time to understand your systems, your customers’ requirements, and your dates — which is why we open every logistics relationship with a diagnostic rather than a pitch.
Experienced continual learners
Seasoned professionals, with developers averaging more than thirty years of experience, who still learn something every week — including the AI tooling that lets a small team do a department’s work.
What we hold ourselves to.
Honor Father, Son, and Holy Spirit
We work primarily for God; not for our customers. We seek to honor and please Him in all that we do. He sets our goals and our priorities. As a by-product, we serve our customers and partners with excellence.
Be a Servant
Others are more important than ourselves. We work relentlessly to serve our customers and partners with servant hearts and to their benefit. We’re here to serve. Our goal is to help our business partners and customers have successful organizations. We desire to help them any way that we can. This sometimes includes working with “competitors” who we actually view as team members and colleagues with whom we share having our customers’ best interests at heart.
Be Trustworthy – Build Trust – Be Honest – Have Integrity
To the point that we’re comfortable standing in front of Jesus Christ with all that we say and do, with the goal of honoring Him and building trusting relationships with others.
Be User-friendly
We’re careful to speak to our customers at their level, whether that be to a very technical CIO or to a CEO looking out for ROI or to a very non-technical user, and to build solutions that meet their unique needs.
Build Solutions that Work
We are careful to build excellent solutions that work well for all stakeholders. Depending on the need, sometimes we work with bleeding-edge technologies while at other times we work with more proven technologies. The bottom line is that we use what will work best for our customers, not for us.
Value Others
We recognize that every person, each team member and partner, has been uniquely gifted by God with experiences and expertise, and that when we come together the total is greater than the sum of the parts.
God Provides – Be a Good Steward
God provides all that we ever need. He owns everything. We are called to be good stewards of all that He has entrusted to us. This includes “our” time and “our” talents and “our” treasures. It also includes our relationships with others and even balance within “our” lives. Our Heavenly Father created Sabbath rest for a reason. We value that reason and seek to do our part to ensure that all of our team members and customers can achieve balance in their lives.
Founder-led, Lakeland rooted.
3 Strand Solutions was founded and is led by Greg Dawson, who brings thirty years of professional experience to the Visionary and Integrator seats and still takes the first call with every logistics owner personally. The firm is a member of the C12 business forum, active in Central Florida’s maritime and logistics community, and serves clients from Lakeland, Florida.
Behind him is a small team of senior architects, developers, a project manager, and AI training and marketing staff — and a working practice of prayer, Sabbath rest, and stewardship that shapes how we treat clients, partners, and each other.
Thank you for considering 3 Strand Solutions.
We look forward to working with you to take your business — and the systems that run it — to the next level. The first conversation is forty-five minutes with the decision-maker.
