Each solution is individually tailored to each supplier, and is based on the level of implementation, integration, and type of features. Whether established as a transactional, contractual, or licensing fee, we are confident the benefits of improved compliance and relationships with your retail customers will result in a net overall savings to your bottom line.

With over 75 years of carrier experience, an intimate knowledge of the retailer delivery requirements, and a partnership with a state of the art technology company, MABDPRO focuses on P.O. delivery compliance.

While it is impossible to predict the unexpected (severe weather, highway closures, etc.), there are many controllable factors that can impact actual performance and compliance. Factors such as the calendar, holidays, carrier, ship date, service type, and transit time are controllable; and our rankings consider these factors when presented to you.

Absolutely. While many of the underlying analytics and logic factors remain constant, it is built to dynamically adjust for various requirements from a wide range of retailers. This includes things like a single “delivery on date”, a “delivery by date”, a “deliver by but not before”, or an “MABD window with variable numbers of days within the window”. It can be used for analyzing a single P.O. requirement, or multiple replenishment orders each week. In addition, it can be used for large nationwide roll outs, where each might have the same or even different MABD dates, or even an MABD with a “do not ship before” date.

No. MABDPRO will only provide you an analysis of the expected results for each carrier or ship date, which allows you to make the best decision for you. Our results are not biased toward any carrier or service type, but simply intended to provide you the best information for making an informed decision in your fast paced environment. In fact, we can limit the actual carrier choices based on your request.

We certainly think so. If you are spending valuable resources to evaluate, plan, and schedule your regular shipments, our technology could provide some of the same analysis in a fraction of the time which allows you to spend that time doing other productive tasks. In addition, even though you are above the threshold there are still financial implications to any P.O. that is not in full compliance. See the section “What does non-compliance really cost” in our overview section.

Managing delivery expectations through ship date planning is critical, but perhaps the other big factor is P.O. number recognition and integrity from the time issued through final delivery. Simply, if the P.O. is not recognized when the shipment is delivered or the trailer dropped on yard, the retailer will not know it has been delivered. Please contact us to more information on other products or services we can offer to assist with this.

While the display shown within MABDPRO is the most basic process for obtaining the rankings and data, these results can be “delivered” in a many different ways. Since it is all data driven, these results can be “mapped” to a summarized report, or integrated with an existing TMS, WMS, or ERP.

It is a matter of how best to evaluate and view the results. Whether in a TMS or within the online hosted version of MABDPRO, the analytics and logic are the same.

When integrated with a TMS, the inherent benefits of transportation costs for each of the options are provided, allowing the optimal choice based not only of relevant chance of success, bit from a cost perspective as well.

TMS systems also provide tracking and reporting functions for shipments, and if you use one that electronically transmits Bills of Lading to the carriers (thru web based services or EDI 210), it also helps to maintain P.O. number integrity, and allows for established processes to be implemented to identify any gaps in that P.O. number integrity.

Please contact for more specifics, and we would be glad to discuss this in more detail

Absolutely. MABDPRO was designed as a stand-alone technology that can be accessed manually through a secure website, or through established protocols from a wide variety of other service providers. If you already have a TMS, we can work with your provider to integrate, or we can refer you to a number of TMS providers for your consideration.

With MABDPRO, it is as simple as running a new query to determine that best carrier with a transit time that meets the new shipping date.

This most often occurs when the carrier has a "service holiday" that falls within the desired delivery window, or while it is in transit. With MABDPRO, the impact of these holidays are considered and is reflected in the optimal ship date options.

With MABDPro, either of these might be prevented by simply checking MABDPRO using the revised shipment availability date to identify a carrier with a shorter transit time.

MABDPRO does not just provide a single date option for each destination, but instead identifies any available date option that should result in delivery compliance. Having optional dates at your fingertips allows you to identify destinations that can be held until a later ship date to spreadout your workflow.
