John Christner Trucking, one of the nation's largest refrigerated fleets, has licensed Netwise® and Netwise400® from Integrated Decision Support Corporation (Integrated). The Netwise solutions are designed to quickly calculate yield measurement, historical analysis, pricing simulations, and network balance optimization to determine the most accurate profitability of each truckload movement.
"We take a progressive approach to applying state-of-the-art technology that will benefit our customers and our bottom line," said Danny Christner, COO for John Christner Trucking. "Incorporating planning optimization solutions supports this approach and will further leverage our investments in ICC transportation management software and Qualcomm mobile communications."
Netwise 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. An essential benefit of Netwise is the knowledge of the yield of all logistical moves--past, present and hypothetically. Netwise400 is a resident AS/400 system that provides the frontline with access to key yield management intelligence to solicit the most profitable freight, maximize equipment utilization and driver time at home.
Netwise and Netwise400 are exceptional for maintaining yield management within an organization.
"We look forward to working with the John Christner management team," said Dave Harris, vice president of sales & marketing for Integrated. "We expect that they will enjoy a competitive advantage using our planning solutions and an increase in overall profitability."
