Overview

Transport Logistics, Inc. (“TLI”) is committed to continual improvement and growth. Outstanding professionals and the most enabling technology are needed in order to accomplish that. Therefore, TLI has made our largest investments in those crucial assets. One of the significant advantages TLI has over its competitors is this robust supply chain technology.

The TLI Technologies team has internally developed a series of proprietary integrated software applications that offer, “best in class” supply chain visibility. System enhancements are a way of life for TLI Technologies. These initiatives are fueled by a constant drive to achieve greater efficiencies. System improvements are also meant to ease the steps necessary to perform day-to-day functions throughout our worldwide network. TLI Technologies has embraced the principle of standardization and statistical process control to encourage the measurement and continual improvement of all processes. All TLI Technology applications are fully integrated and supported 24/7 by its technical professionals. System security measures include catastrophic protection as TLI Technologies’ complete systems (both hardware and software) are replicated and operate in duplicate at a separate offsite location.

Through its ability to process information TLI offers its clients a wealth of management information. Various informative reports are available and are password protected over the worldwide web. This information is designed to allow management to keep its finger on the supply chain’s pulse. This capability quickly and effortlessly provides a snap shot of the quality, cost, and productivity of the services that we offer. Customer Report Cards and Quarterly Reviews differ according to the specific needs of the Client.

TLI deploys a fully integrated technology system that equips both customers and delivery agents with the vital information necessary to manage and control their shipment data. The following is a small sample of some of our most common reports:

• Pickup & Delivery Report All Routes or by Individual Route
• Daily Receiving Summary
• Delivery Activity Report
• Delivery Accuracy Report
• Service Rankings
• PO Status
• DC Bypass and Inventory
• Shipment Status Tracking
• Content Packing List for Cartons

TLI currently uses numerous forms of electronic communication with our customer base. This may be as basic as electronic transmission of invoices via an attached document to e-mail or through a complete EDI interface for receipt of Advanced Shipping Notification (ASN’s), invoices, ship confirmations, etc. Each form of communication requires different mapping, program enhancements, formatting, development and review to assure both parties’ needs are met.
