With ABF's online Logistics Planning suite, you can examine shipping patterns over the current and previous year, by month, by location, by state, by vendor or customer. Also, this information can be charted with bar, line and pie charts. Specific "drill-down" buttons allow closer analysis of specific trends. These eCenter Tools empower you with the ability to facilitate the planning and analysis of your shipments.
Another ABF exclusive feature, Merge-in-Transit, stages simultaneous delivery of shipments from different origin points. And, you may monitor the status of the various shipments with a single project identification number.
