Logistics Systems, Inc., (JLS) is a company that specializes
in transportation management services for mid-market sized North
American companies. Larger third-party logistics providers
(3PLs) typically don't provide service to companies with less than
$500 million in annual sales. Ironically, these are the businesses
that can benefit the most from transportation management services
not only because they have staffing limitations, but also because
logistics is often not a core competence for their companies. As
just-in-time manufacturing and inventory reduction continue to gain
momentum, controlling transportation costs is becoming even more
critical in maintaining a competitive advantage for the growing segment
of the marketplace.
Through our centralized routing center concept, JLS receives daily
shipment information from both its customers (for outbound products)
and their suppliers (inbound materials). Using a proprietary software
called SHIP Systems (Shipment Handling and Information Planning) which
details transit and rate information, service agents gain instant access
to the best service-least cost solution for each shipment and coordinate
arrangements with the appropriate carriers.

Because
we use our volume-buying power to negotiate lower rates with our carriers,
our customers enjoy lower transportation costs as well as administrative
savings. We also provide freight bill payment services, premium freight
management, claims processing, shipment tracking, freight consolidation
and customized management reports.
With extensive knowledge of the Logistics Industry, JLS has the tools
and knowledge to implement customer solutions at a fraction of the cost
of larger 3PL’s.
