| Bestway Systems, Inc. Selects Decision Support Tools from Integrated |

Bestway Systems, Inc., an Ohio, Michigan, North Carolina and Georgia based motor carrier providing transportation service throughout the United States, has selected Expert Fuel®, OOR/ETA® (Out-of-Route/Estimated Time of Arrival) and Netgraf® decision support software from Integrated Decision Support Corporation (Integrated).
Through real-time optimization, Expert Fuel determines where to buy fuel at the lowest cost by providing drivers with guidance on which route to run, the fuel stops to make, and the amount of fuel to purchase in order to maximize fuel savings and minimize out-of-route miles. Other functions that this product offers are detailed routing and the ability to have multiple fuel networks with different discount structures. OOR/ETA Alert is a real-time management tool integrated into the Expert Fuel optimization to minimize out-of-route miles and service failures. It automatically notifies the fleet manager or dispatcher of out-of-route and/or projected late power units based on the planned routing. By using these two products jointly, customers will see a substantial reduction in their costs. Expert Fuel currently saves existing Integrated clients between 4 and 11 cents per gallon.
Netgraf integrates with both Expert Fuel and OOR/ETA Alert. The Netgraf system graphically displays all power units either running late or out-of-route as well as those power units on time and on route. For any power unit, you may display the planned route along with the current position. Netgraf also provides a graphical interface to help in fuel network design and management.
"We are excited to find a fuel optimization and out-of-route solution with a company that shares our dedication to quality and excellence. We have worked hard to define a network of fuel providers that compliment our operations and believe by adding an automated fuel optimization as well as a real-time out-of-route alert system will provide additional savings and control of our costs," said Tom Beam, President of Bestway Systems Inc.
"We are very pleased about Bestway's decision to install the Expert Fuel, OOR/ETA Alert, and Netgraf systems," said David Harris, Director of Sales for Integrated. "Bestway Systems joins the ranks of many motor carriers taking proactive approach to cost management. These tools individually and together create a process to take advantage of the price variation in fuel by location and the benefit of watching the unit for service or out-of-route positions."
