ANN ARBOR – On Wednesday, LLamasoft, announced partnerships
with three supply chain companies to provide increasingly detailed data to its
modeling customers.
Transplace,
a 3PL and supply chain technology company and long-term LLamasoft partner,
increased engagement with LLamasoft customers by providing intra-Mexico
benchmark truckload rate data. This highly sought-after data complements the
data already available for Mexico-to-USA truckload rates and intra-USA truckload
rates.
Tompkins
Supply Chain Consortium is a leader in supply chain management benchmarking and
best practices. The consortium now supplies LLamasoft with a sampling of its
vast database including metrics around freight spend, sourcing, inventory turns
and distribution center operations.
Xeneta, an
online sea freight intelligence platform, now provides LLamasoft with benchmark
port-to-port ocean service contract rates, information that is highly
sought-after and difficult to gather.LLamasoft will continue to offer an
ocean tariff module as part of their standard Data Services subscription but
this additional data will only be offered in the LLamasoft Data Services
premium subscription package.
These
partnerships will provide LLamasoft customers with additional resources from
which to draw valuable global reference data for use in supply chain modeling.
“Data gaps
continue to be one of the biggest obstacles to successful supply chain design
initiatives,” said LLamasoft president and CEO Donald Hicks. “Partnering with
Transplace, Tompkins Supply Chain Consortium and Xeneta is part of our
continuing effort to help make supply chain modeling faster and more impactful
for businesses around the world.”
