Cheetah Software Systems has once again taken top honors as an Inbound Logistics Top 100 Logistics IT Provider for 2009. Selected for its real-time logistics solutions for the transportation industry, Cheetah is recognized for its ability to help carriers of all sizes improve their efficiency, visibility, and customer service in today’s increasingly difficult market conditions.

Cheetah Software offers innovative and practical solutions to help its customers survive and thrive in the midst of a significant economic downturn. During the last year, Cheetah Software consistently provided the kinds of technology solutions Inbound Logistics readers need to reduce costs, increase revenues, and improve customer service.  As carriers and 3PLs increase their use of logistics IT, Cheetah Software continues to anticipate customers' evolving needs. That's why Inbound Logistics editors have recognized Cheetah Software as one of 2009's Top 100 Logistics IT providers.

Cheetah helps carriers large and small in overcoming economic adversity by reducing labor costs, miles driven, and fuel usage — all while increasing profitability, improving customer satisfaction, and enhancing competitiveness. Ward Trucking, for example, almost immediately increased its number of stops by 10%, even while reducing miles driven by 6%. By intelligently optimizing routes and responding quickly and effectively to in-route events, Ward paid for its investment in Cheetah within the first six months.

According to Ward's VP of Asset Management, “The decrease in miles driven alone has saved us over a million dollars per year in fuel savings.”

“Competition in the transportation industry is tighter than ever and is compounded by a global economic downturn”, said Stephan Karczag, Vice President for Cheetah Software. “Cheetah is recognized by the transportation industry as a proven solution to help address these problems while increasing margins for the short and long-term.”
