Sourcing technology solution provider CombineNet and transportation management services and logistics technology firm Transplace made an initial agreement three years ago but have now signed a deal to work together for a further three.
The solution sees Transplace leverage CombineNet’s ASAP® advanced e-sourcing technology which helps customers develop and optimise carrier strategies for procurement events involving truckload, less-than-truckload (LTL) and intermodal needs.
The companies hope that this move will help their supply chain customers to be more effective in their procurement of transportation and logistics services.
“The partnership with CombineNet allows us to more easily navigate the complexities of carrier selection, negotiations, and final procurement decisions for the clients we serve, given the large size and ever-evolving requirements of their supply chains,” said Ben Cubitt, senior vice president, consulting and engineering at Transplace.
“We look forward to the benefits of continuing this partnership, which gives us a strategic advantage in addressing the variety of new future challenges our clients will need to address.”
