2. Identify and Understand IT Technical Requirements. The assessment has been done to understand what integration, if any is being used in your existing program.  We work collaboratively with you to provide the optimal level of integration taking into account your work flow,  requirements and preferences.  How will orders be received, and exactly how would you like invoicing done?  What detail is needed on the invoices?   On line visibility of your shipment activity is easily available to your team, as well as a complete suite of reports, metrics and time saving tools.  We also work together to determine what key performance indicators would be valuable to you, and determine how you will receive them.

Processes are defined and an implementation plan is put into to place.  This includes any integration needs, as well of set up of any tools or customized reporting.   A team of skilled transportation specialists is assigned to work on your business, with a primary contact assigned.  We provide them with information to understand all they can about your business, your communication preferences and all that we have learned in  the assessment.  Service perimeters and pricing is discussed and carefully reviewed.   Our team members are introduced, and additional service detail and is discussed.
