Press Release - 4/8/2008

ST. LOUIS – Logistics Management Solutions (LMS), a non-asset-based third party logistics provider, has been selected to provide transportation management services and technology to St. Louis-based True Fitness (TRUE), a manufacturer of high quality fitness equipment for residential and commercial use.

LMS will use its Web-native transportation management system, TOTAL, to manage TRUE freight destined for more than 250 dealer locations throughout North America. An LMS logistician will work at the manufacturer’s headquarters to plan, execute and track shipments. Additionally, LMS will conduct carrier negotiations and manage billing and freight claims on behalf of TRUE.

“As we expand our business model, we need to partner with an experienced logistics provider that can support our growth without increasing our costs,” says Tim Haeffner, director of service for TRUE. “LMS enables us to do this while giving us better visibility of our North American supply chain.”

Through TOTAL, authorized TRUE personnel can track freight movement and access performance reports online. TOTAL interfaces with the manufacturer’s enterprise resource planning (ERP) system to efficiently secure and process shipment orders.

A Software as a Service (SaaS) product, TOTAL enables TRUE to reap the benefits of transportation management technology without a large investment or system commitment.
