Manhattan Associates Inc. (NASDAQ: MANH) today announced that KLLM Transport Services has selected its Carrier Management Suite to help the company gain more control over its operations, decrease costs and increase revenue.

One of the largest temperature-controlled truckload carriers in the U.S., KLLM was already successfully using Manhattan’s Fuel&Route^® to reduce fuel costs and out-of-route miles. Based on the success of that program, KLLM added the rest of Manhattan’s Carrier Management Suite – including Drop&Swap^®, Driver&Load^® and Load Analyzer^® – to maximize equipment utilization, reduce empty miles, book more profitable freight and improve overall efficiency.

“KLLM has a relationship with Manhattan Associates going back 15+ years, and we’ve seen tremendous benefits in that time from Fuel&Route,” said Andy Morris, vice president, Management Information Systems of KLLM. “It’s helped us reduce out-of-route miles, prevent unnecessary stops and provide real-time ETA and out-of-route exception alerts. Now with our business focus on efficiency, it makes perfect sense to invest in the broader Carrier Management Suite to reap additional performance benefits. It’s the perfect complement in our quest to improve efficiency, optimize asset utilization and increase profits.”

Driver&Load will allow KLLM to decrease deadhead miles and reduce the “spoilage factor” of unused driver hours to boost per-truck productivity. Drop&Swap makes rescuing stranded loads fast and efficient, keeping customers happy and reducing downtime. In addition, Load Analyzer takes real-time data from Driver&Load on existing loads, lanes, and geographies, and meshes them with forecasted loads that have yet to be booked, guiding customer service representatives to the best possible matches for booking freight and filling expected gaps in the network, optimally matching supply with demand.

A comprehensive suite of solutions built just for carriers, Manhattan’s Carrier Management helps companies respond to challenges like equipment utilization, fluctuating fuel prices, increasing federal regulations, and changing customer demand. These solutions bring together the information and tools active enterprises need to achieve profitability goals.

“KLLM has consistently achieved measurable performance gains with the help of our technology, and we’re excited to continue supporting their evolving needs,” said Bob Howell, executive vice president, Manhattan Associates. “Expanding their use of our Carrier Management Suite was a natural progression and we look forward to helping KLLM maintain their leadership position in the temperature-controlled truckload sector.”
