ChemLogix LLC today announced that it will leverage solutions
from Ariba, Inc., (Nasdaq:ARBA), the leading spend management
solutions provider, to enhance its Freight Procurement Services. As
part of ongoing efforts to drive even greater savings for its
customers, ChemLogix will deploy Ariba� Sourcing� On-Demand in
combination with its own unique market intelligence and industry
rate benchmarks to help chemical shippers match shipments and
traffic lanes with the best available carriers.
�Many chemical shippers are finding freight savings through
on-line freight procurement,� notes Ed Hildebrandt, ChemLogix�
Senior Vice President of Operations. �By combining our proprietary
carrier rate database and up-to-date market intelligence with an
RFQ management tool powered by Ariba�s sourcing solution, we can
better assist clients in achieving significant freight savings in a
shorter period of time.�
A robust and flexible offering, Ariba Sourcing On-Demand
combines the technology, expertise and services needed to create
effective markets for a wide range of direct materials and indirect
goods and services. Using integrated best practice processes,
shippers can improve the efficiency and effectiveness of their
procurement operations and create value across their entire
organization. Delivered as a hosted solution, Ariba Sourcing
On-Demand requires no investments in special hardware and can be
quickly and cost-effectively implemented across locations and
geographies.
Prior to placing online bids to carriers, ChemLogix� Freight
Procurement Services uses its extensive rate database and dynamic
market intelligence to benchmark current rates vs. �best in class�
in the shipper�s lanes by mode. Using Ariba Sourcing along with
mode based subject matter experts will enable ChemLogix to execute
an RFQ and generate savings in half the time it takes to complete
the conventional bid process. After bidding is completed, multiple
attribute optimization capabilities enable ChemLogix to recommend
the best carrier mix and savings alternatives based on client
service levels, capacity commitments and rates.
�This unique combination of capabilities and resources not only
provides clients with an additional 1 � 2% savings outside of
traditional bid performances, but also generates significant ROI in
a condensed time, �states Hildebrandt.
�ChemLogix has a long history of leveraging technology-based
solutions and processes to deliver world-class services to chemical
shippers across the globe,� said Jim Luna, Senior Manager, Business
Development, Ariba. �By integrating Ariba�s on-demand sourcing
solution with its offerings, ChemLogix can enhance and accelerate
the results that its clients achieve.�
