AUSTIN, Texas, USA (October 19, 2004) — Fortigo Inc., logistics cost management (LCM) experts, today announced a major technology initiative powering its new managed service offering, called On-Demand Logistics.
"On-Demand Logistics technology offers shippers the flexibility to deploy logistics applications with a few mouse clicks," said Dr. George Kontoravdis, Fortigo president and founder. "The solution is truly on-demand. It is geared towards logistics and operations professionals and does not require any internal IT resources. Users have complete control over the functionality deployed while realizing immediate benefits."
On-Demand Logistics offers organizations a configurable web-based end-to-end logistics execution and reporting platform readily accessible by all functional roles within the value chain. It provides a wide variety of integration choices linking back-end enterprise resource planning (ERP) or warehouse management systems (WMS) with transportation vendors.
On-Demand Logistics greatly enhances Fortigo's managed service logistics offerings including shipping automation, item-level visibility, proactive exception management, business rules enforcement, decision optimization, carrier compliance and global trade compliance.
On-Demand Logistics is ideal for organizations with growing shipping volume and dynamic logistics requirements. By simply mixing and matching different modules to address key pain points, enterprises can generally drive down bottom-line logistics costs by at least 5 to 15 percent. The solution can be deployed in days and costs only a fraction of the savings clients actually realize when using it.
