Save transportation dollars:

• Understand carrier costs and margins: .dt identifies where there is ‘room to negotiate’
• Rate benchmarking: .dt targets areas where rail rates have you at a competitive disadvantage
• Be more selective and negotiate more effectively.  Tell the railroads: 1. the rate you need, 2. why you need it, and 3. reasons why they should provide it.

Increase market share:

• Be proactive within your own company; provide useful data and quidance to sales and procurement
• .dt identifies market potential by territory and metro-areas
• .dt allows you to identify the competition’s traffic volumes ‘lane by lane’
• Understand ‘collateral effects’: how will competitors and RRs react to the rate you seek?
• .dt allows you to build win-win negotiating strategies.

Save management time:

• Easier and faster to use than ever before—information, analysis, and administration all in one—analyze an individual lane or an entire market within a few minutes!
• Understand the strategic issues that impact your competitiveness in rail markets.
• .dt is simple to use and to learn, so there is virtually no cost for training.
• A single license offers multiple ‘seats’, providing a competitive edge to Logistics, as well as Marketing and Sales
• ‘Coupled’ with MS Excel, .dt becomes an excellent rate management system
