Jaguar the Freight Architect Opens New Portal to Supply Chain Management Powered by CyberTraxTM

In addition to features such as video interviews with Jaguar Freight's executive management team and an interactive map of the company's nearly 50 office and agent locations as managed through four strategically located global Centers of Operational Excellence, the new website demonstrates and offers portals to two cutting-edge supply chain operational systems that make Jaguar Freight unique:

• CyberTrax , a proprietary Transportation Management System (TMS) that provides customized, actionable supply chain data in real time, including key cost and performance indicators (KPIs) right down to the individual SKU level.
• Jaguar's ASN Portal, a per-fee added component to CyberTrax 2.0 that is a web based software service for the management of inbound Advance Shipment Notifications (ASN), streamlining the audit and validation of ASN data before the inbound transportation processes starts and reducing related communications by more than 80%.

"The logistics paradigm has changed from emphasizing cost alone to emphasizing service and reliability as cost drivers, and Jaguar Freight Architect's supply chain management philosophy, as illustrated on our new website, integrates constant awareness of that change into our entire operational process," said Simon Kaye, Founder and Chief Executive Officer of Jaguar Freight. "Complete and timely delivery is the ultimate measurement of service and reliability, and this is synonymous with the integrated transport management system that CyberTrax and the ASN Portal provide to coordinate every phase of the process - from contractual activity, to delivery and cost finalizations."

"The portals and demonstrations on the new website will dramatically illustrate the kind of creative supply chain management that our company emphasizes," Kaye continued. "We offer customers the unique advantage of an integrated supply chain that improves both efficiency and cost effectiveness, because it eliminates the guesswork, backtracking and delays that waste time. Because our logistics system is focused on measuring and achieving on-time delivery, all other KPI measurements fall into place. That is the strong message visitors to our website receive."

The ASN Portal is in many ways the centerpiece of Jaguar Freight's website, illustrating the new and central role it will play for improved freight optimization, increased inventory management, and reduction of misrouted or expedited shipments. As shown in website demonstrations, both shippers and planners can navigate to customized ASN forms. Jaguar's ASN Portal overcomes the challenge of ASN data being gathered manually and in diverse formats, with no visibility of the functional organizations involved. Instead, by taking information and validating it before the inbound transportation process starts, the ASN Portal offers a seamless authorization, visibility and reporting platform that eliminates redundant data entry, misrouted shipments, missed aggregation and consolidation opportunities, inefficient inventory management, and information gaps - all of which are pitfalls of manual systems.

"The combination of CyberTrax 2.0 and the ASN Portal creates a transportation management system that coordinates every phase of the supply chain process, giving shippers assurance that their transactions will be fully transparent and operationally efficient," Kaye summarized. "Logistics companies until now have largely emphasized general freight forwarding experience. By contrast, as a true supply chain management specialist, Jaguar Freight offers in-depth logistics and purchasing knowledge customized to each industry, creating a value proposition directly focused on the industry's freight requirements."

This integrated technology and service capability is inseparable from the integrated global management team that Jaguar Freight has assembled and that is featured on the company's new website. In addition to CEO Simon Kaye, Vice President of Strategy & Transformation, Marc Selter and Chief Financial Officer Karen Gaines appear in home page videos that enable them to discuss the company's commitment to manage complex supply chain requirements. Other videos on the site from such major customers as Pierre Pirard (Executive Vice President of global personal care products leader, Elizabeth Arden) and Peggi Geissler (Owner and President of Encore International, a beauty product and confection packaging leader) attest to Jaguar Freight's customer service excellence.

Throughout its global organization, Jaguar Freight provides fully integrated door-to-door supply-chain solutions, which its customers experience through their proprietary CyberTrax^TM real time, online information and supply-chain management system that provides Transportation Management System (TMS) functionalities around the clock at substantially less cost than a conventional TMS. This sophisticated IT approach helps client's source production materials and get finished goods to market faster, cheaper and with greater efficiency. Jaguar Freight has a global client list that ranges from blue chip multinational corporations to small specialist businesses that include manufacturers and distributors of cosmetic, health, packaging, fashion, and food products.
