Faced with the complexity of conducting transportation operations for 13 separate distribution businesses, Clark National turned to TranzAct Technologies, Freedom Logistics Network to simplify and provide state of the art transportation management technology, payment and audit services and carrier rate negotiations. With Customer Satisfaction as Clark Nationals #1 goal, the company sought from TranzAct Technologies an elegant, robust Transportation Management Solution that would meet the demands of its 15,000 distribution customers.
TranzAct’s Freedom Logistics Network provided a turnkey solution for the payment and audit complexities of the Clark National businesses. Additionally, Freedom was able to deliver double- digit savings on Out Bound freight rates with a premium group of LTL carriers. The Freedom Logistics Network conducted the bids, negotiated the contracts and loaded the resulting rates into StarRate, TranzAct’s web enabled rating and routing tool. Clark National uses the full range of StarRate capabilities to meet the transit times and shipping requirements of its 15,000 customers. Freedom Logistics combination of consortium carrier pricing, web rating and routing, and freight payment and audit gave Clark National the sort of turnkey transportation management solution the firm was seeking.
Freedom Logistics has provided consistent year over year savings in the areas of carrier rates, as well as freight payment and audit rate application and duplicate reductions. Clark National enjoys the use of a custom designed web site, which provides all-modes rating and routing for product shipments. Monthly reporting regarding compliance with preferred carrier routings enables Clark National analysts to manage corporate transportation information with an eye toward continuous monitoring and cost reductions. Most importantly, logistics and finance staff members are able to contribute time and resources to the support of Customer Satisfaction, which is the #1 goal of Clark National.
