Agistix, Inc.
Agistix is the first vendor to deliver on a new vision for enterprise-class, global transportation solutions: Logistics Management Automation (LMA). Agistix LMA bridges the gap between optimized transportation plans and day-to-day global logistics activities that occur with any number of carriers across all modes of transportation. LMA enables companies to gain visibility and control of all of their shipments through a carrier-neutral, web-based system, which leverages a rules-based workflow engine to manage internal and external company shipment processes. By streamlining processes and information management associated with all shipping modes—as well as all shipping locales—Agistix reduces costs, increases efficiency and improves process compliance.

Agistix's award-winning solutions are designed by industry veterans to focus on simplicity, practicality and scalability. These on-demand, as well as managed services, solutions are fast and easy to implement, providing Agistix customers with dramatically reduced training costs and rapid ROI.

Why LMA:
Aberdeen Group's 2006 Transportation Management Benchmark reports that more than 80 percent of enterprises surveyed regularly experience freight budget increases due to limited order visibility and lack of collaboration with carriers, suppliers and customers. While supply chain executives are creating sophisticated transportation optimization plans to circumvent this problem, today's very manual and carrier-specific means of scheduling and managing each shipment prevents companies from enforcing these best practice strategies. The global economy further magnifies the problem because optimized transportation often requires use of multiple strategic carrier partners in each region of the world.

Transportation Management Systems (TMS), which allow companies to develop optimized plans while also helping them juggle complex issues such as warehouse or fleet management, provide no automation or intelligence for managing multiple carriers, across multiple modes (small package; air, ocean and truck freight) in various areas of the world. Today's LMA solutions offer a practical solution spanning both tactical and strategic operations by delivering:

•	A means to bridge the gap between optimized plans and real operations through a platform for creating and enforcing global logistics controls to support optimized transportation management plans.
•	A global, carrier-neutral and mode-agnostic solution that incorporates a rules-based workflow engine for driving and tracking day-to-day shipment processing operations.
•	Solid business intelligence based on a centralized repository of real-time information.

The Agistix Solution:
The Agistix award-winning LMA solution is delivered through an on-demand software platform, as well as a suite of managed services.

Agistix LMA, which includes integrated modules for both Heavy Freight and Small Packages, is a web-based solution that automates and simplifies daily processing tasks, provides greater visibility and control into key aspects of managing global logistics and reduces overall shipping costs. Agistix LMA enables companies to define and enforce shipping controls based on optimized transportation plans, creating enterprise-wide policies for partners and employees alike. Its web-based central repository and practical workflow methodology provide an always-on platform to automate the complete range of processes, including bidding, bid comparisons, shipment scheduling and execution, documentation, track and trace, vendor relationship/contract management and shipment settlement. By managing and tracking information about all shipments—domestic and international, parcel and freight, inbound and outbound—on a single platform, Agistix delivers the business intelligence needed to create a single integrated view of all shipment transactions, anytime, anywhere.

Agistix Managed Services include a range of strategic and operational managed services. Leveraging the depth of Agistix's transportation knowledge ensures that companies with limited resources are in a better position to focus on their core competencies. Agistix Managed Services may be used either alone or in conjunction with the Agistix Global LMA Platform. Services include:
