CarrierPoint
Inc. DATADEPOT Product |
 |
 Situation |
 |
CarrierPoint Inc., a
provider of web-based logistics software, was collecting very
valuable information on its dataservers as customers used its
WEB DISPATCH and DOCKMASTER (scheduling) applications. However,
this gold-mine of information was only presented by the system
as a sea of small facts. It was not aggregated or distributed
in a form that aided decision makers at client companies in strategic
planning of transportation operations.
| Action |
|
Datamatics built and offered CarrierPoint
a web-accessible data warehouse add-on product called DATADEPOT
that significantly strengthened its market position and became
an additional revenue stream.
| Result |
|
CarrierPoint clients such as Phillips Lighting purchased
DATADEPOT and were delighted to have access to data such as the following:
 Carrier on-time performance |
| Carrier cost performance |
| Industry-wide shipping costs by origin and destination |
| Company specific shipping costs over time |
| Loading dock utilization data |
| Average truck load times by product and distribution center |
