Logistics.com, the logistics technology company based in Burlington, Mass., has released a report that says transport providers rate Logistics.com's OptiBid Network procurement system as superior to competing products.

The study from financial services company Morgan Stanley Dean Witter & Co., which surveyed more than 40 leading trucking companies, focused on transport providers' preferred structure in responding to shippers' requests for quotes on annual transportation contracts.
According to the report: "When it comes to third party software, carriers preferred Logistics.com."
The report goes on to say, "Of the three primary software bidding packages, Logistics.com ranked highest among carriers on the basis of taking conditional bidding into account, completeness of data required for bid analysis and providing the training and tools necessary to respond to bid requests."
Logistics.com's OptiBid Network enables shippers to establish transportation plans based on factors such as freight variability, network flows and transport provider rates and service levels.
