OHL re-ups with Amber Road for transportation management

The 3PL has used Amber Road since 2010 for international transportation visibility, rate quoting and contract management, including amendments and accessorials,    The global trade management, transportation management and visibility solutions provider Amber Road said Thursday the third party logistics provider OHL has renewed its license of Amber Road’s International Transportation Management solution.
   The solution enables OHL to manage its international service contracts, service agreements, rate sheets and variable carrier accessorials. OHL began using Amber Road’s ITM solution in 2010 to automate uploading of contract and pricing changes.
   OHL uses its central database to manage roughly 900 amendments a year, 800 carrier governing tariffs and 30,000 rate changes annually, according to a statement from Amber Road.
   “We have full visibility of our transportation costs at the end of the day,” said Ryan Dugan, carrier relations manager for OHL’s international business unit. “We don’t have to worry about fuel costs and other add-on charges, which allows us to focus our attention on strategic decisions for our customers.”
   Amber Road said that aside from quoting and contract management capabilities, OHL is also using a new product feature of its solution that enables the ocean product team to search for multiple lane options with a single query.
