Problem (6)

•If the clerk had access to a program that could show him all the various options – he’d see that:

•1) It could have been driven to Cleveland then flown to Newark and from there directly to Milan for ($XXX) – OR

•2) driven to Toronto 1 hour north and flown to Milan from Toronto for ($XXX) OR

•3) Since this wasn’t a rush order – it could have been shipped costing a mere $XXX

•Getting a package from Point a to point b has tens if not hundreds of possible ways to go

•Most FF have no way of seeing viable alternatives, so they go with the obvious and often end up losing money, or living on the edge of acceptable margins – just getting by

•There are 15 parameters that effect cost and each of these effect each other, bringing tens of thousands of pricing options

Problem (5)

•Cargo shipment is priced at $XXX,

•Then it’s driven 8 hours from Buffalo to JFK

•and flown via KLM, stopping in Amsterdam, changing planes

•In Amsterdam it’s picked up, moved to a KLM warehouse, then loaded into the pallet flying to Milan

•Lands in Milan, goes into airline warehouse, clears customs, gets picked up, driven to Dell’s Warehouse in the outskirts of Milan for a grand total of $XXXXXX – leaving the FF with a profit margin of only 3%!!

•(all of this is shown on a map)

Problem (4)

•They go to the FF they use in Milan, and the clerk contacts their office in JFK and arranges a pick up.

•(show another dot on the map)

Problem (3)

•Story – Dell in Milan, Italy wants to import 320 kilo of HW components from Buffalo, NY to Milan

•(picture of a map – buffalo and NYC and and Milano marked)

Problem (2)

•So as we saw – over 99% of the business is handled by small to large – not Enterprise!

Many of these companies are local, lo tech, using primarily office spreadsheets, manual operational systems (picture of pencil and pad, excel, etc.)

Problem (1)

Cargo Vs. Courier – by definition – over 25 kilo – currently we are discussing cargo – not courier

The Challenge

Freight forwarding is one of the largest verticals in the world, with a total global spending of 3.3 Trillion Dollars in 2010. Although a widely divergent field, varying from multi-billion dollar carriers to small logistics providers, freight forwarders do share distinguishable modes of work: complex logistics spanning countries, languages and currencies, supply-chains linking multiple third-party agents, and specialized documentation processing, to name a few.

However, until today, transportation companies did not have a sales process management freight dedicated systems specifically geared for their needs; a system that provides the functionalities of CRM, yet extends to freight, transportation and management, providing clear directions, vision and controls across the sales management and logistics process.
