Traffic

The findings of a 2006 research study conducted with 3PL providers by the technology firm The Aberdeen Group, revealed that 70% of the companies that responded to the study experienced a sharp increase in freight costs over the past two years. However, 30% of the respondents were able to decrease costs or hold them in check. The companies in the later category had something in common – they had invested in a transportation management system.

Consolidation plus communication = cost savings. WDLS TRAFFIC is your trump card – a transportation management solution that supports multiple consolidations to achieve maximum opportunity from the shipment pool. TRAFFIC supports real-time EDI communication through 210, 214 and 990’s. The benefit – significant cost savings that can be retained by the warehouse or passed on to the customer.

Consolidation

TRAFFIC delivers the tools to maximize outbound shipment efficiency. Customers can view all scheduled outbound shipments at all warehouse locations, access key shipment information to determine optimum shipping alternatives and pool loads of different customers. The end result of efficient consolidation: providing the lowest cost and best margin service to customers.

Communication

Consolidation cuts freight costs. WDLS TRAFFIC also offers cutting edge communication through real-time visibility and improved information management. Through a variety of real-time reporting and status inquiry tools, customers can calculate LTL savings, project revenue costs, load shipment status and freight accrued. EDI options allow customers to electronically send and receive freight invoices, auto validate, accept or reject carrier invoices and provide electronic feeds to A/P for payment.

Cost Savings

Time is money and TRAFFIC delivers cost savings by eliminating manpower hours per week through transportation recap reporting, saving cash through real-time lowest cost options and creating significant savings in freight costs. TRAFFIC financials provide shipment level costing, multiple stop loads, fuel surcharge, deficit weight and multiple rate/contract rate data.
