Transportation Rating & Optimization
Calculate Package Rates, LTL Rates and Truckload Rates with simple Excel formulas. Import you own Carrier Contracts and identify opportunities for mode changes. Evaluate impact of fuel price changes. Estimate impact of new business, or changes in service requirements.
Network Design and Site Location
There are many specialized solutions available to do complex network analysis studies. However, they all tend to be very expensive, not to mention complicated to use.
The vast majority of network studies are actually rather simple and for those, Radical Tools will generate solutions faster and better, yet at a fraction of the price of the competition. For more complex studies, several of our customers are using Radical Tools to do accurate rating and distance calculations as input to other tools, as well as refining the output from these tools.
Radical Logistics has several templates available that can be used to start your own network design model.
