Conducive Technology Unveils Pathfinder-Web, the Logistics Industry's Most Comprehensive Air Cargo Scheduling Tool
Providing much more than flight schedules, Pathfinder-Web is the most complete solution for addressing the challenges of air cargo routing
Portland, Ore. - April 29, 2003 - Conducive Technology Corp., a leader in advanced flight information and decision support tools for the logistics industry, today announced the availability of Pathfinder-Web, a Web-based solution to air cargo scheduling challenges. Pathfinder-Web enables logistics professionals to make intelligent, informed routing decisions, faster and easier than ever before.
Much more than flight schedules, Pathfinder-Web integrates passenger and cargo flight schedules with real-time airport and weather information, flight statistics and more, and the powerful dynamic routing engine enables users to identify and optimize decisions based on shipping objectives. Pathfinder-Web is wrapped in an intuitive easy-to-use interface that delivers the ability to quickly filter, sort and compare options, saving valuable time and elevating the quality of decisions. Available through a low-cost subscription, Pathfinder-Web is available to any user within an organization, and Web browser delivery eliminates integration and installation issues.
By consolidating information into a complete and intuitive interface, enabling users to balance the specific risks and requirements of a shipment, Pathfinder-Web improves on a process that until now has been cumbersome and incomplete. Pathfinder-Web provides the flexibility to lower an organization's data purchasing and data management costs, while improving service through fast, informed decisions. Designed for couriers, freight forwarders, in-house logistics professionals or anyone else involved with the air cargo decision process, Pathfinder-Web delivers an immediate return on investment.
"Pathfinder-Web marks a significant shift in how air cargo shipping professionals approach every routing decision," said Jeff Kennedy, CEO of Conducive Technology. "By offering the power to dynamically control the route selection process -so that the factors that are important to each individual shipment can be identified and ranked- subscribers can use Pathfinder-Web to produce fast, reliable results. The combination of these routing results with other relevant shipping data, all presented in an intuitive, easy-to-use interface, provides a powerful decision support tool to air cargo professionals."
Built on Conducive Technology's Pathfinder technology platform, Pathfinder-Web was designed to be the logistics industry's most comprehensive solution for creating optimized routing. Pathfinder's data sources include:
- Comprehensive flight schedule information, provided by Innovata
- Real-time FAA airport delay status
- National Weather Service current conditions and extended forecasts
- Weather forecasts at each connection point
- Advanced statistical flight history
Going beyond data, the Pathfinder platform allows each user to specify the routing objectives for a particular shipment, based on factors such as time, airports, carriers, route, connections, equipment, etc. The dynamic, user-controlled routing engine employs "weighted controls," enabling the user to indicate the level of importance for each factor in the route selection process. Users can quickly "tune" their priorities in order to identify the flight alternatives that best suit the needs of a particular shipment or customer.
Taking the decision process even further, Conducive Technology will soon announce the availability of comprehensive flight status and notification services, so that logistics professionals can look to one place for the information necessary to make-and-monitor decisions. By providing the ability to track decisions and insure the successful completion of shipping transactions, Pathfinder-Web will enable logistics professionals to provide the high level of service required by customers.
Pathfinder-Web is a valuable tool for all cargo and logistics professionals, regardless of a company's size. The Pathfinder-Web hosted service, available through a variety of affordable subscription plans, can be used by an unlimited number of shippers within an organization.
