ATLANTA, Georgia, October 12, 2006 -- ORTEC announced today that DOT Foods has selected its SHORTREC software for daily route planning and dispatch of its 500-truck fleet. The SHORTREC software will be integrated with existing DOT Foods systems and provide the opportunity to maximize fleet utilization, reduce planning time, better manage equipment selection, handle mixed temperature loads and combining inbound PO's with outbound orders in a single transportation planning schedule. Joe Tracy, Executive Vice President of Operations "We were looking for a route planning and dispatch tool that would do a better job of automating our inbound routing. ORTEC took the time to understand our operations, model our data and demonstrate their software would save us miles and money". Go-live of the software is scheduled for Nov/Dec of this year.
