NACA INSTALLS FCL CONTRACT MANAGEMENT SYSTEM
NACA Logistics Group has completed the installation of an Internet-based system to manage its full-containerload contracts worldwide.
NACA, the Southern California-based parent corporation of non-vessel-operating common carriers Direct Container Line, Brennan International Transport and Conterm Consolidation Services, bought the Tariff-Trek! system from Freightgate, an Internet applications developer for the freight services industry based in Huntington Beach, Calif.
“We had been reviewing and testing other systems,” said a NACA executive. “In the end, we decided to capitalize on the expertise and experience of the Freightgate team. Now with the implementation phase done, we are confident we made the right decision.”
NACA also said the system is flexible enough to customize it as it sees fit.
“By replacing countless pages of inconsistent and difficult to understand rates with an interactive, searchable and user-friendly web-enabled solution, users gain a whole new level of productivity,” Freightgate said. “Tariff-Trek! offers customers specific rates and unique FAK (freight-all-kinds) commodity exception handling.”
Freightgate executives also said the system includes modules for multi-container quoting and contract archive management.
