	Our Market

The demand for transportation software is largely driven by an increase in competition among firms to reduce operating cost. To be competitive, organizations must decrease the time to market and increase the working relationships between suppliers and consumers.

Competitive pricing and expense levels are impacted if transportation costs are not well managed ... especially considering that transportation costs can be one of a company's highest operating expenses - often running 12% of gross sales. ARCLOGIX has found that transportation managers turn to transportation management software (TMS) to minimize costs and maximize service.

"The software paid
for itself before
the last payment
was made for
the software.
That's a real ROI !"

"Any distribution planning system that does not recognize the need and importance of scheduling both inventories and transportation from supply sources to distribution points is only half a system for distribution."

ARCLOGIX has addressed real-world transportation management problems manifested in the software design requirements of our customers. Because of this, our market is defined by our customers requiring a specific "twist" to common TMS applications. The usual question is:

"Can you change your software to add this functionality for me?"

Who is in the ARCLOGIX market? What is our market focus? And who do we market to?

Some characteristics shared by existing ARCLOGIX customers and potential users are companies:

Initiating a corporate-wide change in their transportation system.
Implementing specific transportation design strategies that are not available in an "off-the-shelf" TMS product.
That are retailers because the initial functional design was for a large retailer.
That are manufacturers because the software addresses complex routing and delivery time constraints critical to customer shipments.
With transportation services that involve multiple modes of service with many carriers having a complex pricing of the services.
Where optimal use of the transportation equipment, as with a private or dedicated fleet, is important.
Where, because of ARCLOGIX's pricing, showing a solid ROI is critical.
