DHL Express Canada, Mississauga, Ontario, a Canadian package delivery carrier, has chosen the FACTS highway freight operations management system, designed by Carrier Logistics Inc., Tarrytown, N.Y.

The system provides full control of manifesting, trip management, driver settlements, equipment control, and fuel tax reporting. It provides a complete set of operations reports and other management tools.
DHL expects the system to help achieve more precise control of operations:
* Locating missing trailers
* Developing accurate costing per load or per trip
* Creating performance reports: scheduled vs. actual times at selected locations, planned vs. actual trip times, etc.
* Matching accounts payable to actual trips to avoid paying for trips not made
"DHL found that the FACTS highway system has the capability to support the company's expedited freight service," said Ken Weinberg, vice president of CLI. "The system, based on advanced open architecture, offers package delivery and LTL carriers a low cost of ownership."
DHL has 160,000 employees and an international network that links more than 220 countries and territories worldwide. The company is owned by Deutsche Post, which is challenging UPS and Fedex globally.
Carrier Logistics Inc., has provided software solutions for more than 30 years and is best known for its LTL solutions.
