announced today that UniPro
Foodservice has selected NCR’s Transportation Management solution as
the backbone of their “Peachtree Logistics” advanced logistics
optimization and freight analysis offering.

companies that are now part of the NCR solutions portfolio,” says John
Burke, executive vice president for Supply Chain at UniPro Foodservice.
“This transportation solution allows our cooperative members to have
access to the most advanced inbound logistics software on the market.

The NCR Transportation Management solution portfolio, which includes
transportation optimization, yard and dock management, and
proof-of-delivery, is one of the key offerings within the Power
Enterprise software suite. The Power Enterprise suite includes solutions

world,” says Todd Michaud, global vice president and general manager,
Global Enterprise, Merchandising and Supply Chain Solutions at NCR. “Our
latest transportation solution allows UniPro to better assist its
Peachtree Logistics participants in their freight analysis, emphasizing
increased member income and improved on-time performance.”
NCR Transportation Optimization (NTO) enables companies to reduce
inbound transportation costs by bidding inbound services to the
lowest-cost providers while using the NCR carrier portal for web
tendering, shipment status updates and freight settlement. It can also
be used to reduce outbound costs by optimizing load building and
shipping routes. The solution is now offered as a cloud-based
deployment, providing users with a lower cost of ownership, and the
ability to always have the latest versions of the solution.
