Thursday, June 28, 2007

“With the yard becoming a pressure point for companies that need to more effectively respond to customer service requirements, while improving cost control, we’ve updated our Yard solution to help businesses stay a step ahead, from the gate to the yard to the dock,” said Tim Harvie, CEO of Fluensee, in a press release. “The new Fluensee Yard solution goes beyond yard visibility by also arming managers with business intelligence for strategic workflow planning, dynamic task assignments and accurate asset and labor management.” [end]
