Value Delivered from a Single Portal
Portal solutions from Acuitive support corporate initiatives for reduction in international transportation spend and yield efficiency improvements within the supply chain. Our hosted portal enables on-demand real-time collaboration within different departments of a company and with local and global service providers and suppliers. An Acuitive hosted portal facilitates end-to-end collaboration during procurement negotiations and after the process with auditing capabilities. It's nice to get a low freight rate but if Accounting isn't in the loop your efforts might be in vain. A portal from Acuitive replaces transportation procurement decisions that use manual spreadsheet rate comparisons and gut feel to create a strategic framework to drive supply chain and transportation cost efficiencies.
An Acuitive portal is a management and control tool that offers results and positive return on investment in several areas that include:
- Fast, accurate analysis to facilitate quick decisions on mode selection and execution
