Neodesic launches trucking marketplace
Neodesic, a business-to-business Internet company, has launched FleetXchange.com, an e-commerce marketplace aimed at helping small to mid-sized trucking fleets by pooling their resources and buying power via the Internet.
'''''Although small to mid-sized fleets account for the majority of the more than $160 billion in annual purchases of equipment, parts and services, many lack the objective and accurate information they need to make the most cost-effective purchasing and maintenance decisions for their specific companies,' said Charles Kwon, president and chief executive of Neodesic.
''''The company has been testing FleetXchange.com since the spring. It assists in managing fleets from acquisition through ongoing maintenance.
''''Neodesic has established several industry alliances, including AmeriQuest and Food Distributors International.
