Transportation Insight's Latest Enterprise Logistics Technology Highlighted in Inbound Logistics Magazine

HICKORY, N.C., May 4, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Transportation Insight, a leading global third-party logistics (3PL) provider, and consumer electronics distributor client, DSI Systems Inc., are featured in the latest issue of Inbound Logistics magazine in the cover story emphasizing technology as the driving force behind long-term value creation. The editorial illustrates how Transportation Insight implemented its bundled Enterprise Logistics solution to help manage the growth and success of DSI's complex supply chain. The almost decade-long partnership has resulted in DSI's ability to stay ahead of the competition by leveraging Transportation Insight's blended technology solution to better manage supply chain costs, gain visibility across the entire network and improve customer service.

When asked about the benefits of working with Transportation Insight, Dave Seibert, Senior Vice President of Operations at DSI Systems responded, "Transportation Insight does the heavy lifting behind the scenes in our day-to-day operations. Working with the 3PL's bundled solution and their other robust  technology offerings just makes sense; we work so closely together that they are an extension of our team and have significantly helped us better understand cost to serve each customer through comprehensive on-demand reporting. This knowledge shapes our long-term growth strategies to continuously optimize our supply chain."

DSI's information technology group worked closely with Transportation Insight's IT team to integrate the company's ERP system with the 3PL's technology solution. This integration provides visibility to freight rates and carrier service times during the order entry process for easier customer quotes and enables real-time shipment tracking from regional DCs to final delivery. Utilizing Transportation Insight's proprietary freight bill audit and payment system has reduced administrative time while achieving additional savings. DSI is also able to manage costs more accurately through the implementation of automated GL coding. With DSI leveraging the full range of solutions in Transportation Insight's portfolio, the two businesses complement each other, which is the true success of a long-term partnership.

"Using Transportation Insight's business intelligence portal, Insight Fusion®, DSI is able to dig deeper into the numbers to better understand trends and gain insights. DSI and many other clients improve efficiencies and customer service levels to align with corporate initiatives surrounding sustainable growth and profitability," said Jim Taylor, Vice President of Information Technology at Transportation Insight.

Transportation Insight Vice President of Supply Chain Analytics John Richardson expounds on the 3PL's robust technology solutions and the impact actionable data can have on enterprise excellence. Richardson authors a Knowledgebase article, "The Next Frontier of Supply Chain Innovation: Analytics, LEAN and the Power of Big Data," which was released in the same April 2015 technology issue of Inbound Logistics magazine.
