Airborne Express (NYSE: ABF - news; www.airborne.com ) will implement the product, a real-time collaborative solution that helps shippers rapidly acquire capacity from transport providers at contracted rates during surge periods. ``Logistics.com`s OptiManage Capacity Finder automates the difficult and time-intensive process of obtaining truckload capacity when demand surges,`` said Joe Hete, president of ABX Air, Inc., the airline subsidiary of Airborne Express. ``This technology is expected to improve communication with our network of transport providers as well as give them visibility to all our unassigned loads, lowering costs and improving our transport provider relationships.`` OptiManage Capacity Finder automates the entire process of obtaining capacity during surge periods such as month-end, quarter-end and the fourth quarter holiday period by identifying shipments that cannot be moved by Airborne`s primary transport provider, and then using a special web interface to simultaneously offer the shipment to multiple preferred transport providers. Within minutes, OptiManage Capacity Finder collects transport providers` responses and determines the best carrier for each shipment, securing capacity at contracted rates. Finally, OptiManage Capacity Finder can award the shipment to the transport providers using Airborne`s transportation execution system. Shipments are identified, assessed and awarded without any manual intervention.
