NNR Global Logistics USA Implements Management Dynamics’ On-demand Proposal Generation Solution

Leading NVOCC Chooses Proposal Builder to Optimize Customized Rate Quotes and Proposals

EAST RUTHERFORD, NJ, March 1, 2007 -- Management Dynamics, a leading provider of global trade management solutions, today announced that NNR Global Logistics USA, a worldwide provider of international freight forwarding and logistics services, has deployed Proposal Builder™ to streamline its processing of customized rate quotes and proposals and to more proactively respond to new customer opportunities.

A module of Management Dynamics’ Transportation Management solution, Proposal Builder enables customer-facing logistics professionals to better analyze customer requirements, build multiple routing and service scenarios, generate and deliver customized proposals, evaluate win/loss trends, and more effectively manage the entire sales cycle.

Operating in an intensely competitive environment, NNR needed to be able to respond to customers’ rate requests within hours. With Proposal Builder in place, NNR can now quickly deliver highly customized, error-free proposals to its customers in a fraction of the time it was taking before.

“We were looking for a solution that would allow us to more efficiently respond to our growing volume of RFQ’s and new business opportunities,” said Liz Staszel-Boyles, National Ocean and Compliance Manager at NNR. “Proposal Builder’s ability to build multiple routing and service options and automatically calculate the pricing for each alternative saves us a tremendous amount of time. We can now offer our customers the best combination of cost and service available.”

Since deploying Management Dynamics’ Proposal Builder, NNR has been able to achieve significant sales and operational efficiencies including:
 

  • Improved visibility -- NNR is now able to monitor and track all aspects of its proposal management process, including win/loss trends, quote turnaround times, and margin analysis

  • Reduced costs -- With the on-demand, streamlined quote management features of Proposal Builder, NNR has been able to dramatically reduce the administrative costs, including overtime compensation, associated with building and delivering proposals.

  • Greater accuracy and response times -- NNR has been able to achieve higher levels of customer service by delivering accurate, detailed proposals in a timely manner – often in hours rather than days.

  • Standardized business processes -- By using a standardized and consistent method for generating rates and achieving acceptable margins, NNR has streamlined and simplified the entire proposal development process.
     

“More and more logistics service providers are investing in technologies that will help them drive sales growth and improve close rates,” said Al Cooke, Vice President of Sales for Management Dynamics. “NNR’s selection of Proposal Builder is a significant endorsement of the powerful capabilities of this comprehensive proposal generation tool for driving sales growth. We look forward to our continued partnership with NNR and to helping accelerate sales growth in their global logistics business.”

Proposal Builder is an on-demand technology delivered over the Internet which eliminates the risk and expense of traditional software installation and implementation. The solution is currently in operation at the company’s corporate offices in Chicago with plans for a rollout to NNR’s global accounts sales force within the next six months.
