Fikes Truck Line, Inc., a leading truckload provider operating a fleet of over 500 power units specializing in flatbed transportation services throughout the United States, has announced their selection of Netwise EnterpriseŽ from Integrated Decision Support Corporation (IDSC). Netwise Enterprise is designed to identify customer lanes that are profitable and working well and to analyze the customer lanes that need improvement.
"We were looking for solutions that would seamlessly integrate with our existing advanced technology systems for a fast implementation and return on investment," said Gary Salisbury, Sr. VP & Chief Operating Officer for Fikes Truck Line, Inc. "By adding Netwise, management can quickly calculate and direct profitability actions within Fike's freight network."
Netwise Enterprise provides the yield-based continuous profitability backbone for all functions within the enterprise. Specific functions include yield management, shipper bid response, "what-if" analysis, and optimization of the freight mix.
