Choice Logistics and TrafficCast Announce TravelZone - Data Analytics for Mission Critical Logistics
Date: 07.18.2007
Choice Logistics, the global leader in mission-critical service logistics and supply chain solutions, and TrafficCast International, a leading developer of digital traffic data and software for next-generation traffic information services, today announce the release of TravelZone™, a sophisticated data filtering application supporting en route advisories and performance measurements for mission critical logistics.
Designed to process a range of traffic and travel information affecting time-critical delivery of individual packages, TravelZone enables relevant real-time advisories to dispatch controllers as well as destination recipients. The result is precise on-time delivery assessments, further improving Choice Logistics’ industry-leading performance.
“Clients depend on Choice to ensure that their demand for two hour delivery of mission critical parts, 24x7, are met.” said Gary Weiss, Executive Vice President for Global Operations at Choice Logistics. “The tight timeframes Choice is measured on means that traffic and travel impacts must be accounted for. In developing TravelZone with TrafficCast, Choice mitigates the impact of traffic so it is not a necessary evil, thus raising the bar on levels of service.”
“The focus of TrafficCast is traffic impact data aggregation, analysis and travel time forecasts, while Choice Logistics is the leader in critical parts delivery,” commented Connie Li, CEO of TrafficCast. “The partnership with Choice has enabled us to apply our solutions to the demanding market of logistics management to create new definitions for on-time delivery.”
