Freightgate's OceanTender Celebrates Its First Anniversary

Huntington Beach, CA, United States September 22,2010 - It has now been a little over one year since Freightgate's OceanTender was released to the market. In that short time shippers have processed over a quarter million containers with an award value in excess of the 1/2 billion dollars. Tenders ranging from 4000 to 70000 containers have been processed and submitted up to 25 carriers. The tenders have been anywhere in size from under 1000 to 15,000 location pairs.

Freightgate's transportation procurement application uses a common business process and standardized format developed in conjunction with global shippers, 3PLs and carriers. OceanTender, available in November 2009, standardizes and supports all phases of a tender from initial creation, request, responses, complex shipper evaluation, countering, and award. "At Freightgate we have continued the work of standardizing, simplifying, and improving the tendering process" said Gary Chisamore, the founder of OceanTender.com and Vice President of Business Development. "I want to thank our shipper and carrier colleagues who have greatly assisted in this area." "Our carrier and shipper colleagues in the supply chain have contributed immensely to the features, functionality and improvement of OceanTender processes. I believe we are on the right track to generate more benefits for our customers from all of the suggestions, improvements and efficiencies we have introduced." Gary is widely recognized as one of the industry experts in delivering transportation procurement tools.

OceanTender automates what is traditionally been a manual spreadsheet process, that required the labor-intensive analysis of and non-standard responses and communication between shippers and carriers. "I have been thrilled with the market acceptance and adoption of ocean tender and look forward to continued improvements in the process and solution as we get more input from our stakeholders" says Chisamore. Any shipper and carrier is provided free access and use of Ocean Tender. For the more sophisticated shippers, there is access to the Ocean Tender"s scenario and analytics engine to generate more savings and efficiencies.

Martin Hubert, CEO of Freightgate says "we recognize the critical value of transportation procurement and supply chain and were delighted when we were able to incorporate Ocean Tender into our PLTX platform. It has been a natural fit and further enhances the value of Freightgate's rate management (Tariff-Trek) and global tender management (GTM-Trek). We will continue to deliver improvements for these areas."

Freightgate Supports Supply Chain Carbon Footprint Tracking

Huntington Beach, California - April 21, 2010 - In recognition of Earth Day 2010 Freightgate, a global industry leader in Web 2.0 technology supply chain software solutions, is pleased to announce enhanced carbon footprint functionality with COx wizard and modeling in its Tariff-Trek! shipping management software. This improved carbon footprint functionality will help shippers and carriers capture, analyze and optimize the carbon footprint of their logistics and supply chains.

Using the Freightgate Tariff-Trek! module within it's integrated SaaS+plus PLTX platform, a company will be able to generate different rate and routing scenarios that compare operational, financial and environmental impact of their supply chain. The results will help determine which scenario is environmentally sound while at the same time being financially and operationally viable.

Recently IBM said that it will require its 28,000 suppliers in more than 90 countries to install management systems to gather data on their energy use, greenhouse gas emissions and waste and recycling. The initiative follows Wal-Mart's announcement in February that it would require its suppliers to eliminate 20 million metric tons of greenhouse gas emissions from the life cycle of the products it sells. Many other manufacturers, and producers and transportation carriers are applying similar policies in a unified effort to preserve our global environment.

According to a UK Guardian news article, shipping represents about 5% of global greenhouse gas emissions. Aviation carbon dioxide emissions, estimated to be about 2% of the global total, have been at the forefront of the climate change debate because of the sharp increase in cheap flights and express cargo demand. Separate studies suggest that maritime carbon dioxide emissions are not only higher than previously thought, but could rise by as much as 75% in the next 15 to 20 years if world trade continues to grow and no action is taken.

"Shippers, logistics providers and transportation carriers can no longer ignore their impact on the environment" states Martin Hubert, Freightgate President and CEO.

"Understanding the carbon emission impact of your supply chain decisions and carrier routing alternatives is critical to conducting world trade. Many environmentally conscious manufacturers have declared if a supplier or transport provider cannot be compliant with requirements on the environment and sustainability, we’ll stop doing business with them. Freightgate's technology provides a quick way of analyzing the carbon footprint within the Logistics Management Lifecycle" continues Hubert.
