Complete EDI Capabilities
Technology has completely changed the way the world stores, accesses and shares information, and the transportation industry has benefited tremendously from the advent of Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) technology. EDI integrates computer systems across multiple vendors, and from vendors to customers, to provide order processing, process accounting and record-keeping that is consistently accurate. Our EDI technologies will help provide your business with the insight and control you need to manage costs and will provide you the access you need to enable truly LEAN operations and just-in-time delivery.
Pre-appointment Process
The NDS pre-appointment process involves analysis and risk discovery before pick-up to ensure there aren’t surprises hiding that will frustrate the shipping process.
Savings
Many shippers are forced to rely upon less-than-truckloads, where the amount of product they’re shipping to a given location is not sufficient to warrant a dedicated shipment. Traditionally, multiple shipments are sent to the same geographic region on different trucks. This approach is resource-intensive, as LTL shipments cannot be effectively optimized for fuel economy.
NDS pool distribution services combine those LTL shipments on fewer trucks. Trucks carry these loads to single-source, regional terminals called pool points, where the products are sorted by our partners for distribution to their destinations. This process continues until the products are ultimately put on local delivery trucks for last-mile delivery to their final destination.
