Llamasoft partners with CLX

CLX will provide European ocean, truck and parcel data to Llamasoft customers.    The supply chain design software provider Llamasoft has partnered with CLX Logistics, a supply chain benchmarking and consulting firm, to offer European truckload, global ocean and global parcel data to LLamasoft customers for use in strategic supply chain design.
   CLX has provided a dedicated transportation benchmark service for more than a decade, during which its CLX Benchmark database has grown to capture more than 4 billion euros of contracted transportation expenditure. The data includes data on global, pan-European and domestic routes and a variety of transport modes.
   The rate benchmarking service will now be available to LLamasoft customers through a referral agreement. The partnership will provide LLamasoft customers with an additional resource from which to draw global reference data for use in supply chain modeling.
   “The growing number of companies participating in our benchmarking proves the added value that our accurate and reliable apple-to-apple comparison brings,” said Marc Huijgen, CLX Logistics’ European vice president. “We have seen companies that considered their processes to be best-of-breed saving double-digit percentages after deploying our benchmark data in their procurement strategy.”
   Llamasoft has partnered with a number of strategic data providers in recent years to enable richer information feeds into its modeling software.
