1. NFI Chooses MacroPoint
Supply chain solutions provider is enhancing load tracking capabilities for current
customers and growing its business without adding overhead cost
CLEVELAND, OH – May 22, 2015 -- MacroPoint, creators of patented freight
tracking software designed to give 3rd
party visibility into load status, today
announced that NFI, a fully integrated supply chain solutions provider, has
implemented its solution to enhance load tracking capabilities within its
brokerage service offering.
“We chose MacroPoint to fill a gap in the track and trace function of our
business,” said David Broering, SVP, Integrated Solutions at NFI. “MacroPoint
gives us another tool to use to provide our carrier partners with options for
updating us with the location of the loads they’re hauling. With MacroPoint we will
also be able to track more loads with the same number of people, allowing us to
scale our business faster without having to incur additional overhead costs.”
NFI, headquartered in Cherry Hill, New Jersey, is a privately held company that
provides dedicated transportation, warehousing, intermodal, brokerage,
transportation management, global, real estate, and trailer storage services. The
more than $1.1 billion operation has 25 million square feet of warehouse and
distribution space and a company-owned fleet of over 2,000 tractors and 8,200
trailers, operated by more than 2,600 company drivers and 250 owner operators.
Activated on the mobile phones of drivers hired by NFI’s carrier partners,
MacroPoint’s location tracking software provides load status and location
visibility. With MacroPoint, the company now has real-time location tracking, on-
time delivery monitoring, and arrival/departure notifications, eliminating the need
for third parties to check in to receive load status reports.
“MacroPoint is pleased to work with NFI to automate and fully integrate their load
tracking process of third party carriers,” said Glynn Spangenberg, general
manager and executive vice president of MacroPoint. “With our freight
tracking software, NFI not only meets their immediate goal to see 100% of their
loads in transit, but they also gain operational and profit leverage as they grow
and expand their Integrated Solutions business.”
