Bohemia, NY – Logistics Plus (www.logisticsplus.net),
a global logistics services company, has announced its use of
www.routingguides.com
to manage the routing instructions and compliance programs of its growing
list of clientele. RoutingGuides.com enables Logistics Plus to post and
manage the routing instructions including carrier assignments and rules of
engagement of its clients on the web with immediate communications to
vendors, carriers and others involved in the actual movement of goods. According to Jim Berlin, CEO at Logistics Plus, “There are a lot of high flying logistics companies out there. The problem is, the higher you fly, the less detail you see. LP sweats the details to save our customers both time and money. Our experienced, resourceful team provides personal attention and our trademark “passion for excellence” has saved customers millions of dollars.” RoutingGuides.com supports this detailed approach by enabling Logistics Plus and their customers to be in constant contact with vendor and customer requirements and to adapt to these changing requirements by making and affecting instant changes while simultaneously notifying all users that changes have occurred. As Logistics Plus continually looks for more efficient ways to manage product flow along the supply chain and drive down expenses for their customers, the move to RoutingGuides.com technology was a natural choice. According to Dan Lynch, of Logistics Plus, RoutingGuides.com is terrific and the "user friendliness" is much appreciated. Shippers usually imbed routing guides within a Vendor Compliance or Instructions manual. Shippers, their vendors, customers and carriers then use the guides as a source of total information surrounding the rules of engagement between the buyer and seller. Instructions required at each point in the logistics process are located and identified, and the manual passes through many hands as supplies and finished products move along the supply chain. Because neither content nor form is standardized, exceptions and changes are usually difficult to identify. With RoutingGuides.com, Logistics Plus simplified this entire process while concurrently improving compliance, reducing freight expenses and streamlining the receiving processes. LP uses the technology to identify a shipper’s choice of carriers to be used for shipments of merchandise varying in weight and service, and it identifies all shipping, packing, marking, and communications requirements as well. RoutingGuides.com replaces traditional printed manuals and enables revisions and up dates to be made instantly rather than quarterly or annually. “Implementation opens a door to a world of valuable information,” said Alan Miller, President of TransportGistics, the supplier of the ASP technology to Logistics Plus. “Shippers can access information at any point along the route, and carriers, customers and vendors access as needed a secure, clear, user-friendly inquiry screen that enables them to easily obtain correct route assignments, corresponding rules, conditions, and exceptions.” Since it was established in 1996, Logistics Plus has grown into a $4 million business managing almost $300 million in global freight. Its success has emanated from its ability and promise to provide its customers with better pricing, better service, and better transportation management than its customers could initiate on their own. Among its current client base are some of the world’s most successful multinational companies including Lord Corporation, Ameridrives, GE Transportation Systems, Textron, Hankison, TM Industrial Supply, DGS, Worldvision and Acu-Rite.
