| How does Netwise Frontline work? |
| Netwise engineers every process to produce the most profitable load up to the point where the driver gets the work assignment. Netwise also integrates with IDSC’s suite of execution solutions designed to decrease cost in every process from the point where the driver gets the work assignment to final delivery. Netwise extracts information from the dispatch database to build the proprietary data feed. The information is then transferred to the PC workstation where the analysis is performed. A unique feature is that the entire process of data transfer and analysis can be scheduled to happen automatically. |

| How is Netwise Frontline different from other solutions? |
| > Empower the Frontline with the Right Information at the Right Time to make the Right Decisions |
| Reposition/Load- To Inquiry identifies the best options for capacity in an area. Is it best to load it in the current location or reposition it to a more profitable market? What are the best shippers to solicit and what lanes are most profitable? |
| Shipper Rank by Area- identifies the best shippers out of an area. It provides a list of the shippers sorted from best to worst making it easy for the solicitor to know what to ask for and what to accept and reject. |
| Shipper Lane Rank by Area- identifies the best lanes for a shipper. This screen provides a list of lanes sorted from best to worst for the shipper making it easy for the solicitor to know what ask for and what to accept and reject. |
| Load Rank by Area- identifies the best lanes out of an area. It provides a list of shipper lanes sorted from best to worst for the area, making it easy for the solicitor to know what to ask for and what to accept and reject. |
| Load Evaluator- quickly determines how to price a spot load. It provides both the average current price on the lane as well as a comparison to the Market Rate Index. |
| Scoreboards provide immediate feedback. The load planner, fleet/driver manager, or customer service representative can quickly review the impact of their actions on the profitability of the company, thus providing continuous improvement feedback. |
| Driver Home Requirements- provides a quick search capability to find the best shipper and lane to get a driver home. |
