Active On-Demand Announces New Business Intelligence Enhancements To Its Innovative Transportation Management System
BELLEVILLE, Mich.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Active On-Demand, a leading global on-demand freight transportation management company, announces the latest release of its industry leading APT transportation management system. APT Release 1.11 introduces Business Intelligence (BI) features in the form of a Carrier Dashboard.
APT connects shippers with freight carriers via its Real-time Collaborative Exchange, an Internet-based Business to Business (B2B) exchange where shippers enter on-demand transportation requests and carriers competitively submit bids within minutes. APT is used by Active On-Demand to manage the shipment, track cargo location, and provide complete, detailed shipment visibility to shippers, consignees, and carriers.
"With the introduction of BI features into APT, Active On-Demand customers now have additional visibility into their shipment database and carrier performance," stated Greg Davidson, Active On-Demand's CIO and VP Marketing. "Now with BI, customers are equipped to transform extensive data into actionable management information."
The Carrier Dashboard allows Active On-Demand customers to view their carrier activity over a date range and see shipment volumes, transportation expense, and carrier quality ratings. Also, the new BI tool provides full drill-down functionality for data mining including cargo records, carrier notes, and a complete audit trail for a specific shipment.
"Now I have another valuable tool that Active On-Demand has delivered," said Doug Sargent, Sr. Manager, Transportation Services Center at YRC Logistics. "Beyond the cost saving benefits that APT brings us today, having a Business Intelligence view into carrier expense and performance is a new and significant value add that Active On-Demand brings to the table."
