Our robust technology platform, unsurpassed logistics expertise and focus on long-term continuous improvement enable clients to achieve game-changing advantage and dominate their market.

Co-managed Logistics

At an early stage of any new client relationship, Transportation Insight's experts perform a detailed assessment of a client's current supply chain cost and service performance. After deployment of our LEAN logistics solutions, Transportation Insight's engineers provide clients with an on-going, proactive analysis of their existing and emerging supply chain needs. Continuous improvements help clients maximize profits, enhance visibility, increase productivity and gain more supply chain control. Our co-managed logistics services include carrier sourcing, contract and rate administration, claims processing, outsourced execution options, warehouse sourcing and international transportation.

Financial Settlement

Auditing and processing more than one million supply chain invoices each year, Transportation Insight has a proven record of eliminating overcharges, while also greatly reducing administrative costs. Our audit and payment process begins with a commitment to data accuracy and provides the basis for more advanced business insight. Transportation Insight's financial settlement offering includes freight bill audit, consolidated electronic billing, general ledger coding, carrier payment, freight refunds for service provider failures and freight accruals.

Technology

An effective Transportation Management System (TMS) supports cost reductions, streamlines shipment execution and improves visibility and responsiveness. Without requiring a capital expense commitment, Transportation Insight provides our clients with Insight TMS®–the most versatile transportation management system on the market today. Insight TMS® allows a high level of customization through modular, scalable applications, which can be integrated into the client's operating platform or used as stand-alone web-based applications.

Whether a client needs a customized report outlining logistics trends across multiple divisions and locations, or simply wants to know where a shipment is, we provide the information the client needs, when they need it. Transportation Insight's web-based applications, comprehensive reporting, integrated solutions and customized analytical studies help guide decisions. Our business insight capabilities include:
