EAST RUTHERFORD, NJ (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) -- Management Dynamics, a leading provider of on-demand solutions for global transportation and supply chain management, today announced that it has expanded its strategic relationship with Schenker, a worldwide provider of integrated logistics services. Under the terms of the agreement, Schenker has renewed and extended its subscription to Management Dynamics' BridgePoint solution for supply chain visibility and event management. Specifically, BridgePoint will be used as the technology driving Schenker's Global Visibility and Control service.
"With the rapid growth in global sourcing, companies are managing supply chains that are getting longer and more complex," said Claude Germain, Chief Operating Officer, Schenker Canada. "Our customers demand technologies that will enable them to do this effectively in a challenging environment as well as provide the highest possible customer service at the lowest delivered cost. With BridgePoint we offer our clients real-time visibility, rich alerts, and a customized portal of management reports so they can make better business decisions and successfully compete in the international marketplace."
The BridgePoint supply chain visibility solution is uniquely suited to meet the operational needs of Schenker. As a Web-based, on-demand solution, BridgePoint eliminates the need for hardware and software investment, minimizes the impact on IT resources, and reduces implementation timeframe and risk. The solution can be deployed in less than five days by utilizing existing e-commerce connections in the BridgePoint Network for all of Schenker's trading partners. Schenker clients using the BridgePoint solution include Megabloks, Davis International, Costco, and Curtis International.
