Transportation Management
Princeton Consultants is the creator of Pegasus - the leading Intermodal
Transportation Management System (Intermodal TMS).
What is Intermodal and why is it important?
The global supply chain - links of manufacturers and distributors - continues
to grow in size, volume, participants, and… complexity.
Intermodal Transportation, which is the management of freight across
multiple "modes" (ocean, rail, road, air) - is literally the
connection between the links of the global supply chain. Even with the
most advanced manufacturing and distribution techniques, it is intermodal
transportation that is responsible for supplying the raw materials in
a cost-conscious and time-effective manner, and then delivering the finished
goods to the next link in the chain.
The job of managing and optimizing thousands or millions of loads of
freight across the globe typically requires intimate operational and
financial understanding of each of the modes, its carriers and characteristics.
This job is even more complex for the carriers themselves, who in addition
must effectively manage their own assets - positioning them in the right
locations and pricing them appropriately.
Pegasus
Pegasus is the most advanced, comprehensive, and proven Intermodal TMS
product in North America. It is the dominant product of the Class I railroads,
and is used by international ocean liners, motor carriers, and third-parties,
including brokers, 3PLs and IMCs.
What it Is
Intermodal transportation management is the pricing, planning, coordination,
execution, billing, and analysis of freight that moves in more than one
transportation "mode" - ocean, rail, truck, air.
