Holiday Heavyweight Shippers Gain Better Control with YRC Multiday Window™ Service
OVERLAND PARK, Kan., Nov. 9, 2010 - In time for holiday shipping, YRC, a subsidiary of YRC Worldwide Inc. (Nasdaq: YRCW) announces the introduction of a new automated compliance-monitoring report for heavyweight shippers using the company's Multiday Window™ service.
The Multiday Window service is a transportation solution engineered to help vendors satisfy the must-arrive-by-date requirements implemented by their retail customers to better manage their supply chains. The YRC Multiday Window service ensures shipments are delivered within the day(s) specified on the purchase order, not early or late.
The new compliance-monitoring feature is part of the Transit Analysis report which can be accessed through the YRC customer website, my.yrc.com. The monitoring report sorts shipments by Window Start Date, Window End Date and Window Compliance, and quickly generates a scorecard showing actual performance against delivery requirements.
"As we move into the holiday season, apprehension and tight inventory-management practices have delayed the peak season for shipping until closer to the holidays, adding pressure to supply chain performance," says Mike Smid, president-YRC Inc. and chief operations officer-YRC Worldwide. "Our Multiday Window service gives shippers the confidence that their shipments will achieve their delivery requirements. This helps them better manage their scorecard performances and avoid the costs of noncompliance."
In addition to the new compliance-monitoring report, the Service Day Calculator is another tool of value to shippers using YRC Multiday Window service. The calculator helps shippers manage their workforce, production schedules, inventory levels and transportation spend by viewing various shipment pickup dates, by service option, which will meet the delivery requirements.
