Cubic Defense Applications, Inc. Leverages Agistix’s Dynamic Bidding Environment
Redwood City, Ca.—August 21, 2007 —Agistix, Inc., the leading provider of Logistics Management Automation (LMA) software, today announced that Cubic Defense Applications, Inc. has used Agistix’s on-demand LMA system to help reduce the cost of heavy freight shipments of electronic simulation training equipment. Cubic Defense Applications, Inc. is a major defense component of Cubic Corporation (Amex: CUB), a world provider of realistic combat training systems, mission support services and defense electronics.
"Agistix’s web-based logistics solution and dynamic bidding environment allow us to match our shipment needs with carrier capacity and select the carrier that offers the best value for a specific shipment," said James Mackey, material manager at Cubic. "We believe we are saving roughly 8% to 10% on heavy freight shipments with Agistix."
Cubic is also realizing benefits from Agistix's consolidated invoicing, which streamlines Cubic’s payment process by consolidating all invoices and referencing the job number for each project.
