LeanLogistics Hosts Webinar About Rapid Implementation And Quick Benefits From On-Demand Transportation Management

LeanLogistics, the leading provider of web-native Transportation Management Systems (TMS), announces hosting a Webinar on November 16th at 11:00 EST that will highlight two customers, ES3 and Republic Plastics. Food Logistics and Supply & Demand Chain Executive magazines will produce the Webinar, by Beth Enslow of the AberdeenGroup.

Robert Garner, Director of Transportation for Republic Plastics, a top manufacturer of disposable tableware, producing primarily private label plates, bowls, saucers, and lunch trays sold by leading retailers like Wal- Mart and Kroger, will discuss how small and medium size businesses (SMB) can implement LeanLogistics On-Demand TMS rapidly, within three weeks, and start receiving benefits almost immediately. Historically, the SMB market has not been able to take advantage of transportation management applications, because traditional installed software applications could not be cost justified, nor implemented rapidly.

"On-demand Transportation Management technology allows large and small companies to deploy TMS functionality rapidly and inexpensively," said Dan Dershem, president of LeanLogistics. "Companies do not have to make significant expenditures for hardware, software, infrastructure, integration, and trading partner implementation. Further, the pay-as-you-go model avoids significant up-front license expenditures so businesses can align expenditures with benefits and get a Return-on-Cash."

Gregg Bostick, VP/GM National Transportation of ES3, a state-of-the-art warehouse facility that delivers multi-manufacturer consolidated orders to customers throughout the Northeast and Mid-Atlantic regions within 24 hours, will discuss how a major third-party logistics provider made a trouble-free transition from a legacy system to On-Demand TMS in a four-week period. This transition was critical because the entire shipment volume of a major CPG vendor was dependent on flawless execution.
