ALK, Llamasoft form strategic alliance

ALK Technologies has announced a strategic alliance with Llamasoft, as ALK’s PC*Miler routing, mileage and mapping software has been fully integrated into Llamasoft’s Supply Chain Guru.

According to the companies, the alliance gives Supply Chain Guru users the ability to accurately calculate freight miles for all global regions as well as dock-to-dock driving directions over truck-specific routes and optimal routes for hazardous materials.

“As fuel costs continue to rise, our users are requiring more precision in their freight routing and optimization models” stated Toby Brzoznowski, LLamasoft vp of sales. “We are also seeing a continued focus on globalization and low-cost country sourcing, so our integration with the PC*Miler product line gives our users a new and necessary level of detail for global freight analysis.”
