Version 3.0 is headlined by a production release of the company's Dynamic Carrier Selection module. Dynamic Carrier Selection allows shippers to proactively manage the load tender and re-tender process. Many shippers have not yet automated their tender function, and those that have often use systems that assume their carriers have capacity and will accept all primary tenders. "Tender rejections from primary carriers is one of the challenges shippers face in securing capacity," noted Romala Ravi, Program Manager of elogistics Services at IDC. Without DCS technology, shippers are in reactive mode when a load tender is rejected. This means scrambling to the phones to find a carrier while the clock is ticking to get the freight moved." Clicklogistics' CEO (1) (Chief Executive Officer) The highest individual in command of an organization. Typically the president of the company, the CEO reports to the Chairman of the Board. , Tom Sanderson, said "With our DCS technology, the tender and re-tender process is automated - there is no 'dialing for diesels', and backup carriers are tendered freight in a sequence that is ideal for the shipper. Our experience is that primary tenders are rejected up to 33% of the time, but even if the rejection rate is only 5%, DCS has a very quick payback. The result is a lot of money saved and higher percentage usage of core carriers. This benefits both shippers and carriers." George Abernathy, the company's senior vice president of sales and business development added, "Carrier bids and the software used to automate them hold out the promise of lower transportation costs. But as anyone who has used this software knows, the savings hoped for often dissolve when the rubber hits the road, because the lowest cost carriers don't always move the load. DCS from Clicklogistics closes the gap between lowest negotiated rates and actual rates paid."
