EAST RUTHERFORD, NJ, December 17, 2009 -- Management Dynamics, a leading
provider of global trade management solutions, today announced that Ocean World
Lines (OWL), a leading non-vessel operating common carrier (NVOCC), has launched
OWL360, an order, shipment and inventory tracking portal powered by Management
Dynamics' Supply Chain Visibility solution. This robust and flexible web-based
solution allows OWL to provide comprehensive and timely data on purchase orders
and shipments across all modes and trade lanes, enabling customers to analyze
and improve their supply chain efficiency.
"The highly flexible nature of the
OWL360 system allows us to easily adapt to market conditions and our clients'
changing needs as we continue to differentiate, provide added value to our
customers and stay ahead of our competitors," said Alan Baer, President, Ocean
World Lines. "We truly value our partnership with Management Dynamics as we work
together to continuously create enhancements to the system and additional
benefits to the user which has significantly improved our customer loyalty and
retention."
Prior to integrating Management
Dynamics' Supply Chain Visibility solution, OWL's tracking system was a highly
manual process whereas operations personnel input data received from carriers
and performed manual queries. With EDI connectivity, automated alerts and
reports, the new OWL360 portal automates this process and has significantly
improved internal productivity. Today, over 200 customers have seamlessly
integrated OWL360 within their supply chain operations. OWL uses analysis and
reporting tools to help clients improve their supply chain performance with
accurate and timely visibility into the status of their orders across all U.S.
and international trade lanes.
"While many companies lack
critical supply chain visibility due to highly manual processes or first
generation visibility solutions that lack the sophistication to accurately
manage inventory in-transit, best-in-class companies such as OWL are adopting
advanced technologies that help streamline the supply chain," said Nathan Pieri,
SVP Marketing & Product Management, Management Dynamics. "OWL fully exploits the
power of our Supply Chain Visibility solution and delivers a highly
differentiated service to its customers."
In addition to Supply Chain
Visibility, OWL utilizes Management Dynamics' Transportation Management solution
to automate ocean pricing and manage service contracts as well as Management
Dynamics' on-demand trade compliance tools to help customers classify goods,
calculate landed costs and screen for restricted parties.
