Challenge: Improving the experience of customers is the goal of every supply chain - and a smooth, transparent order process is critical to that experience.

Yes, It's Possible to Track Freight Expenses Down to SKU or Product Line!

Challenge: One of the main issues our larger clients have is being able to appropriately account for freight expenses. Many times, freight expense is allocated to a product, or product line of business, via a cost pool approach that does not reflect actual divisional or departmental expenditures.

They required a solution that could more effectively support strategic spend areas with robust features, yet speed and simplify their workload.
