TYSONS CORNER, Va.,
Dec. 4, 2014 /PRNewswire/
-- MicroStrategy® Incorporated (Nasdaq: MSTR), a
leading worldwide provider of enterprise software platforms, today
announced that Eyefreight (www.eyefreight.com), a provider of SaaS
transportation management system (TMS) technology, has chosen to
add MicroStrategy to its TMS technology solution, providing
organizations around the world with an end-to-end logistics
technology solution that is user-friendly, customized to meet
different reporting requirements, and designed to scale.
Headquartered in Utrecht, the
Netherlands with U.S. headquarters in Evanston, Illinois, Eyefreight provides
shippers with a comprehensive transportation management system
(TMS) and integrates with existing transportation workflows to
reduce cost of distribution by 10-30 percent for global customers
such as Campari, Floraholland, Levi's, Mango and Tata Steel.
Eyefreight's database contains enormous, valuable customer data,
and uses algorithms to optimize inventory allocation and product
distribution, combining customer orders located anywhere in the
world into multi-drop, continuous move, backhaul, and pooling
transportation movements. By leveraging the MicroStrategy Analytics
Platform, Eyefreight's customers will be able to build interactive
reports and self-service dashboards based on numerous data points –
orders, shipments, actual carrier rates, preferred carrier
designations, load capacity, delivery time windows, and carrier
score cards – to optimize their transportation networks. Eyefreight
customers will be also able to create, access, and share insightful
MicroStrategy dashboards with other colleagues that show the
Eyefreight product's shipment status in real-time.
"Most ERP and TMS systems are unable to determine the
cost-to-serve of a sales order because these systems are not able
to store the complex rate sheets needed for calculation," said
Ken Fleming, CEO at
Eyefreight. "These systems are also not able to tie the
shipment costs to the business units where they belong. With
MicroStrategy embedded into our TMS offering, our customers will be
able to uncover these costs quickly using a powerful yet
user-friendly, self-service technology solution that meets their
unique needs."
After an extensive evaluation of other analytics vendors in the
market, Eyefreight chose MicroStrategy for its ability to support a
full range of functionality compared with other point solution
tools, and for its leading enterprise-grade software offerings that
bring agile data discovery and self-service analytics with advanced
visualizations within the reach of its global clientele.
"The best-run organizations understand the need to make
decisions on trusted enterprise data, and in turn are looking for
more than just analytical point solutions," said Paul Zolfaghari, President, MicroStrategy
Incorporated. "Leading transportation and logistics
providers, including Eyefreight, are choosing MicroStrategy to
easily explore and analyze their complex data, and end up with
better service levels, improved timeliness, and reduced costs."
