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.
