Odyssey manages all aspects of the supply chain with a full suite of transportation services from ocean to over the road. Through its state-of-the-art integrated transportation management system and global network of service providers, Odyssey performs cargo planning, tendering, shipment visibility and configurable event management, freight audit and payment and management reporting.
From the start of its relationship with Performance Fibers, Odyssey has acted quickly, transitioning all logistics for domestic shipping in just three weeks and then, transitioning to promptly handle the export shipments.
Odyssey's transportation management technology backbone, the Odyssey Global Logistics Platform(SM), will connect directly to Performance Fibers' Enterprise Resource Planning system to provide a seamless, all-inclusive transition for logistics needs. With Odyssey, Performance Fibers will have complete visibility into all freight movement and logistics activities.
The company plans to complete a transition to full data interchange by the end of the first quarter of 2006.
Robert Shellman, Chief Executive Officer for Odyssey said, "Transportation and logistics management are fundamental components of Performance Fibers' business success. We are very proud that Performance Fibers has put its trust in Odyssey."
