Performance Analysis & Process Automation
A manufacturer of specialty food and oral care additives selected Visiship to support is complete logistics management needs from shipment rating through freight payment.  Their objectives were to adopt logistics best practices and technology, automate the transportation management process, and develop performance measurement data for planning purposes. 

• Visiship automated the complete process and setup electronic communications with their carriers (internet for those that do not support EDI)
• TMT identified cost savings approaching 5% of total freight spend resulting from improved carrier selection and rate optimization.
• Access to Visiship-generated shipment accruals has improved forecasting and planning for accounting managers.
• Accurate shipment rating has kept audited invoices to a minimum, eliminating costly manual work.
• Instant carrier scorecard reports provided the performance data necessary to make strategic decisions and quantified on-time delivery levels of 96%. 
• TMT implemented an automated PPA quote mechanism to ensure accurate rates are quoted by customer service.

TMT collaborates with one of its logistics partners to provide full logistics management and technology services for this client.

Carrier Selection & Rate Optimization
A chemicals and materials technology producer has selected the Visiship Rating Engine as their next generation shipment rating system.  This customer rates all North American shipments across modes using Visiship and the system has identified freight cost reduction of 8% from improved LTL routing guide compliance alone. 

• Visiship was able to displace the industry leading rating software.  The customer preferred the value offered by Visiship through a combination of capabilities, service and price.
• Individual plants throughout North America are using the Visiship Rating Engine for carrier selection.  Corporate logistics managers are using the Rating Engine for accrual calculations.
• TMT was able to get an acquired company up and running on the Rating Engine using their carriers and contracts within two weeks.

This is an example of a rapid implementation of Visiship that resulted in immediate project payback for the customer through rate optimization.
