Logistics.com Implements Onyx Software Solution in Six Weeks to Enhance Customer Relationship Management

Transportation technology leader selects Onyx to enhance its service quality; solution chosen for its rapid deployment, flexibility and robust CRM functionality

BELLEVUE, Wash. - Onyx® Software Corporation (NASDAQ: ONXS) announced that Logistics.com, Inc., a leader in transportation procurement and management technology, completed enterprise-wide implementation of the Onyx solution in a six-week time frame to provide its employees with comprehensive Customer Relationship Management (CRM) capabilities. Use of the Onyx system gives Logistics.com one-click access to critical customer information across the enterprise, enabling the company to align around the customer for enhanced service quality.

Logistics.com plans to run all aspects of its business through Onyx, using the Onyx Enterprise 2001 suite of thin-client portals to assist in their efforts to streamline customer, prospect and partner communication across the organization, grow revenue, increase productivity and enhance customer satisfaction. Initially, the primary users are customer service, sales and marketing, but the entire enterprise has been trained on and has access to the system. The company is continuing to integrate back-office systems with Onyx on an ongoing basis, with plans to include its accounting application and a third-party bug-tracking application used by technical support and product development.

"Our customers are Fortune 500 companies that demand a high level of performance, service and responsiveness," said Ray Loehner, senior vice president of operations, Logistics.com. "We required a CRM system that could be quickly integrated into our work processes. More importantly, it had to be reliable. After talking to many Onyx customers, we were convinced that Onyx could deliver - and they did. Going with best-of-breed is our policy, and Onyx gives us the best combination of functionality, flexibility and reliability to meet our needs today and in the future."

Logistics.com provides shippers and transport providers with technology designed to help them buy, sell, manage and optimize transportation services. The company needed a CRM solution that could be deployed quickly on an enterprise-wide scale. At the same time, they needed a platform that would allow them to develop business processes in parallel with the implementation and make rapid adjustments and modifications as their needs evolve. Logistics.com went through an extensive process to evaluate available CRM solutions and selected Onyx based on criteria including system flexibility, enterprise-wide functionality, speed of deployment, ease of integration with back-office systems and the ability to deliver a proven Web-based technology with high reliability.
