Logistics Edge Releases Transportation Management System and Changes Company Name to Radical Logistics

ATHENS, GA – November 15, 2001 – Logistics Edge, a developer of intuitive transportation software solutions, today announced the commercial release of LoadPlanner, a transportation management system (TMS) designed for mid-market 3rd party logistics providers. The company also announced that it has changed its name to Radical Logistics.

“The feedback on LoadPlanner from both customers and prospects has been overwhelmingly consistent---our TMS is radically different,” remarked Brynn Runkle Conover, co-founder and President of Radical Logistics, “and carefully designed to support the way logistics providers implement and use a TMS. In order to highlight our unique approach, we decided to change our company name to Radical Logistics.”

LoadPlanner offers a broad range of functionality that includes shipment rating and consolidation, load tendering, visibility, and reporting. The system’s advanced data management approach allows several planners to build line hauls and the local pickup and delivery routes simultaneously with the same shipments. LoadPlanner is also designed for organizational teamwork providing transportation planners as well as customer service representatives the capability to consolidate shipments, add new shipments, price options, and track in-transit loads.

Radical Logistics has already implemented the LoadPlanner system at freightPro.com in Kansas City, a leading provider of transactional logistics. “Our vision is to provide tools that enhance the way people work”, said Henrik Danford-Klein, co-founder, and CEO of Radical Logistics. “We literally put the Operations and IT personnel at freightPro.com in the driver’s seat to develop a TMS solution that fit their current business needs but will also grow with them as their shipping volumes increase.”

The management team at Radical Logistics combines industry experience gained at leading logistics organizations including Schneider Logistics, Sears, CAPS Logistics and Georgia Tech. In addition to Danford-Klein and President Brynn Runkle Conover the team includes Vice President of Applications John Kring.
