(PRWEB) August 12, 2004 -- Power2Ship, Inc. (OTC BB:PWRI), an Application Service Provider for the freight transportation industry, is targeting North American carriers to discover the benefits of its evolutionary asset management tool, the Power2Ship (P2S) MobileMarketTM. The P2S MobileMarketTM is a proprietary internet-based solution that processes real-time information to enhance supply chain effectiveness and drive cost out of the transportation industry.
The foundation of the P2S MobileMarketTM is the Continuous Movement Tool (CMT) -- an internet-based asset management system that identifies and tracks carrier assets. Once a carrier inputs data regarding its drivers, tractors, trailers, and current moving loads, the CMT processes this real-time information and dynamically predicts when and where a carrier asset is going to be located once it has delivered its current load. Shippers using the P2S MobileMarketTM can instantly identify this future available capacity," view the carriers prices, and choose the closest available carrier at the best price.
Carriers want to utilize their equipment more efficiently and generate more revenue-producing miles," says Power2Ship president Michael Darden. The P2S MobileMarketTM enables carriers to maximize capacity by tracking their assets and displaying their future availability to shippers."
Carriers can use this information to locate their own assets for their own sales efforts with existing customers, or they can display those assets to the P2S MobileMarketTM. The next load found by either the Member-Carriers sales efforts or by a P2S Member-Shippers use of the P2S MobileMarketTM creates the continuous movement of the Member-Carriers asset.
P2S Member-Carriers are given free, unlimited use of the CMT, which can be updated in one of three ways: manually, electronically through a P2S GPS, or through a data feed transmitted from the Member-Carriers equipped truck. By using Power2Ships GPS and PDA, carriers and shippers - can also be notified automatically of any possible delays so they can proactively address potential problems. Power2Ship pays its member carriers in full quickly and does not charge carriers any brokerage fees or sales commissions.
By offering a more efficient communication system, Power2Ship hopes to level the playing field for small to medium-sized trucking companies. To compete effectively today, small and medium-sized carriers must utilize computer and wireless communication systems to enhance customer service and productivity and attract shippers to their service," notes Darden. With the P2S MobileMarketTM, Power2Ship has removed the barriers of entry and empowered these smaller carriers to compete with large carriers for truckload shippers business."
