Included in Data2Logistics’s European expansion are Jos van der Meulen and Johan Kool as Business Development Managers in the Benelux region, Reinhold Säckl as Country Manager in Germany and Peter Hodgson as Country Manager in the UK. Each will be presenting Data2Logistics’ transportation cost-savings portfolio of freight bill auditing, processing payment and advisory services to companies who ship products domestically and internationally. Using actionable information from their powerful yet easy to use data mining and reporting tools, clients are able to identify savings, as well as improve negotiations and quality of service with air, LTL, TL, parcel, overnight express, ocean, and rail carriers.

“Data2Logistics is pleased to add these professionals to our European team,” states Gerry Burns, President and Chief Executive Officer, Data2Logistics. “The continued demand of our global offerings is growing at a rate where we need to expand further. The market potential in Europe is substantial and each of these gentlemen is a strong fit to work with our European-based staff in educating and advising companies throughout the region.”

Data2Logistics’ services enhance organization’s logistics, supply chain, operations, finance and accounting staff, providing information needed to control costs for all modes of transportation for companies who ship products domestically and internationally via LTL, TL, parcel, overnight express, ocean, air and rail carriers. Having a full service operation in Rotterdam, Netherlands since 2004 enables Data2Logistics to support rapidly expanding companies throughout the EMEA and APAC, with staff attuned to local cultures and unique business environments.

Data2Logistics assists Global 1000, Fortune 1000 and SMB companies to reduce their shipping costs by providing an outsourced opportunity to efficiently process, audit, account code and pay their freight at a significantly lower cost than internal processes. Clients also benefit from the identification of more carrier overcharges than their internal systems can identify. The company provides actionable information to better manage and control transportation cost, and supports clients with their carrier bid preparation, rate benchmarking, proposal analysis and negotiation. All modes of transportation can be processed on a global basis. As a single source of information, Data2Logistics identifies and reports opportunities for savings and the reasons for variances in trends. Savings opportunities can be derived from modal shifts, consolidation of shipments, improved carrier utilization, and adjustment to shipment size, as well as monitoring accessorial costs. Reviewing over $15 billion worth of freight bills from thousands of carriers annually, the company offers a single-source solution for all modes of freight, resulting in savings averaging 5%-15% of product shipping expenditures per year.
