Amber Road (NYSE: AMBR) a leading provider of global trade
management solutions, today announced that OHL, a leading global
third party logistics provider (3PL), renewed its license of Amber
Road’s International Transportation Management solution (ITM). The
enterprise solution enables OHL to effectively manage its
international portfolio of service contracts, service agreements,
rate sheets and variable carrier accessorials.
OHL began using Amber Road’s ITM solution in 2010 to automate
uploading of contract and pricing changes. Its central database
manages about 900 amendments a year, 800 carrier governing tariffs
and 30,000 rate changes annually for the company. Operating over
130 distribution centers with more than 8,000 employees, OHL
provides integrated global supply chain management solutions
including transportation, warehousing, customs brokerage, freight
forwarding, and import and export consulting services.
With Amber Road’s International Transportation Management
solution “we have full visibility of our transportation costs at
the end of the day,” said Ryan J. Dugan, carrier relations manager
for OHL’s International business unit. “We don’t have to worry
about fuel costs and other add-on charges, which allows us to focus
our attention on strategic decisions for our customers.”
Amber Road’s ITM solution automates the management and updating
of contracts and rate sheets; ensures ocean rate tariff publishing
compliance; identifies all possible routes; and calculates full
bottom-line prices, thereby optimizing OHL’s profits. Furthermore,
the technology allows OHL to respond faster to quotes and RFPs and
streamline its contract management process. OHL is also using a new
product feature of Amber Road’s solution that enables the ocean
product team to search for multiple lane options with a single
query, thereby significantly reducing manual effort and speeding
decision making.
“OHL is a valued customer and we are pleased we can continue to
provide a service that helps improve its bottom line,” said Jim
Preuninger, CEO of Amber Road. “We look forward to working with
them as they continue to grow their business.”
