May 27th, 2003 - SEATTLE, Wa. – ShipLogix, a provider of a Web-hosted transportation management system (eTMS) for shippers, carriers and their business partners, has integrated and successfully deployed high-performance optimization into its ShipLogix execution platform.
Using CAPS Logistics' TransPro optimization technology, ShipLogix generates intelligent transportation plans that encompass mode and carrier selection, shipment consolidation, vehicle routing and scheduling.

Hosted at the company's data center in Seattle, ShipLogix optimization is seamlessly integrated with the platform to ensure that the most cost-effective transportation plans governed by real-world service restrictions are executed quickly and efficiently.
"ShipLogix optimization automates processes that are currently done manually and standardizes business processes and sourcing decisions across multiple locations," said Chris Larkin, Chief Technology Officer for ShipLogix. "Through shipment aggregation and multi-stop routing, we can help companies achieve freight savings rapidly."
"ShipLogix optimization has been a powerful tool in reducing our client’s direct transportation costs," said Steve Kinnard, CEO of SCO Logistics, ShipLogix channel partner in the chemical industry, noting that one of his companies has saved 8.7% on freight costs.
