Radical Logistics Sets Record Pace for Transportation Software Adoption

Momentum Continues With Release of Radical Tools V2.0

CHICAGO, IL. – November 18, 2002. Radical Logistics, a leading provider of transportation software, announced today the availability of Radical Tools Version 2.0. This transportation modeling solution is setting an unparalleled pace of adoption with usage by over 100 companies across retail, manufacturing, and consulting and 3PL industries in just six months on the market.

With Radical Logistics’ technology, companies such as OfficeMax, IBM Global Services and Peach State Technologies, are now using a single platform for rating across modes and can perform mode, carrier or contract selection easily. Radical Tools provides logistics consultants, business analysts and transportation planners a way to quickly and easily calculate road distances, route distances and rates required for their supply chain projects.

With the 2.0 Release, Radical Tools now provides a standard for importing truckload contracts and loading lane-based negotiated rates. Tim Brown, Principal, IBM Business Consulting Services, adds, "I'm excited about the new contract loading capability. This function allows users to load non-standard Truckload tariffs or lane specific discounts in addition to the existing built-in LTL and parcel tariffs. The tool has become a must-have for me when I'm conducting supply chain design and logistics analyses." Henrik Danford-Klein, CEO of Radical Logistics, comments, “We are very excited about the new capabilities, which makes Radical Tools truly unique in providing rating and analysis capabilities not available in any other single software package.”

Supply chain consulting companies, 3PLs and shippers with internal logistics analysts are all using Radical Tools. The wide array of projects that this product supports is a testament to its versatility and strength. Companies have used the product to analyze renewing a distribution center lease, evaluate the use of master distribution centers, calculate the impact of converting pre-paid to collect transportation and generate service territories for a regional distribution network.

Radical Tools offers capabilities for calculating distances and rates – the foundation for any transportation analysis. The product even includes sample Excel spreadsheets. Radical Tools Professional edition is affordably priced at $3,950. To register for a free 10-day trial see www.RadicalLogistics.com.
