Infor CRM Leverages Customer Intelligence and Best Business Practices for Global Freight Transportation Provider

Atlanta, GA, December 14, 2006 --(PR.com)-- Infor, one of the largest global providers of business software, today announced Averitt Express, a leading provider of freight transportation and supply chain management, has deployed Infor CRM to drive intelligent customer interactions and increase sales responsiveness.

The advanced system provides Averitt Express’ sales organization with an integrated solution to quickly and efficiently develop tailored Customer Supplier Agreements (CSAs). Infor CRM brings together information throughout the organization to provide an agreement based on the customer’s profile based on information from Averitt Express’ sales agents. This enables Averitt Express to provide tailored offers and sell more effectively while enhancing the customer experience.

“As we face increasing competition, customer service is becoming one of the key differentiators in third party logistics,” said Sean O’Neil, director of product development and training, Averitt Express. “Infor CRM allows us to intelligently utilize information in the back-office on supplier agreements, pricing and operations to create a single view of the customer and effectively provide the services they require. Customers notice the difference when you can give them personalized service – all because we have access to the important information when we need it.”

“Averitt Express is benefiting from Infor CRM’s ability to provide a better customer experience by integrating several customer profiles into a single view and providing easy access to information available in the back-office,” said Gregg Monastiero, SVP, Strategic Solutions CRM. “This powerful solution is ideal for companies that seek to enhance their customer experience by synchronizing sales efforts to delivering consistent, personalized customer care.”
