Radical Tools Reaches New Milestone With Over 150 Users; New Version Now Includes Carrier BiddingCHICAGO, IL, Oct. 29, 2003 -- Radical Logistics, a leading provider of transportation analytical software, announces the release of V2.1. With this release, companies can create more complex logistics spreadsheet models. For example, a third party logistics company used Radical Tools to build a spreadsheet model to handle a full truckload carrier bidding process for one of their client accounts. By using Radical Tools, they were able to produce an additional $50,000 in savings, reduce their turnaround time 300%, and decrease the number of carriers in the final solution by 25%. Whether it is for rate analysis, network analysis, or carrier analysis, Radical Tools is fast becoming standard software for transportation analysts and supply chain consultants. With over 150 users including companies such as Staples, Ingram Micro, Manhattan Associates, and UPS, customers are reporting benefits such as reduced analysis time, increased analytical capabilities, and more accurate results. "We use Radical Tools so routinely, it is no longer a matter of how much the tool saved us, but what it enables us to do for our customers," states Jean-Luc Coquerel, Distribution Analyst for Peach State Integrated Technologies, a national leader in the design and delivery of integrated fulfillment and distribution center solutions. Just as no financial analyst would dream of doing their job without Excel functions such as calculating Net Present Value or Rate of Return, transportation analysts now have a handy solution for calculating distances, transportation costs, selecting carriers, assigning customers or cleaning up shipment data. One Senior Analyst reported "Radical Tools has allowed us to simultaneously reduce the time of our analysis while increasing its depth, all of which aids in the acquisition of new business." Brynn Conover, president of Radical Logistics, states, "In a business environment that forces us to do more with less, customers tell us the Radical Tools is indispensable".
