Saint-Gobain Containers selects Transportation Management Solutions, LLC to provide TMS systemSecond largest glass container manufacturer in the United States turns to Transportation Management Solutions, LLC for web-based TMS System. ELMWOOD PARK, N.J. (January, 2009) - On December 19, 2008, Transportation Management, Inc (TMSI) launched a new outbound TMS load tendering solution for Saint-Gobain Containers. Using a version of its UltraShipTMS software, each of Saint-Gobain's 14 North American manufacturing facilities will be consolidated into a single system offering low cost carrier tendering, complete visibility of all shipments, and easy tracking in real-time using a web-based platform. Additionally, UltraShip's tendering rules give Saint-Gobain more flexibility in that they can tender freight based on criteria other than low cost such as percent allocation, customer preferred routing guides, rank, or lead time. It also addresses the intricacies in their transportation network by allowing them to more cost effectively choose the right carrier for specific shipments. This showcases the software's ability to be customized to meet individual shipper's unique needs. The spot quote tool allows Saint-Gobain to notify partners about shipment opportunities instantly over a private network with one click. Carriers can submit competitive bids on loads. On one screen, shippers can compare rates, select a carrier based on cost and availability, and obtain shipment approval all in minutes. Other features of UltraShipTMS include an online routing guide that can be updated at any time, fuel surcharge, as well as daily/weekly activity reports and analysis which will allow Saint-Gobain to monitor and report on freight costs, including historical spend and carrier performance.
