LeanLogistics, a provider of Web-native Transportation Management Systems (TMS), announces hosting a Webinar on Wednesday, June 14, 2006 entitled, "New Trends to Navigate Transportation's Perfect Storm," featuring the foremost authorities on Transportation Management Systems.

Leading analysts from AMR Research, AberdeenGroup, and ARC Advisory Group along with moderator Mike Levans, editorial director of Logistics Management magazine, will define the evolving trends in transportation management, examine methods that mitigate the impacts of current issues in transportation, and present case studies that illustrate how best-in-class supply chain companies continue to find new best practices.

The presentation will begin at 2:00 PM EDT and cover current issues, problem solutions and best practices, and shipper success stories, including:

* Controlling Inbound Logistics - shippers are reaching back into the pipeline to take active control of purchase orders inbound from suppliers and inventory in transit. This provides more reaction time to incomplete or late orders, reduces both inventory and out-of-stocks, and reduces the cost of inbound freight.

* Implementing Software-as-a-Service Extremely Rapidly - shippers are turning to On Demand software as a way to manage transportation functions. This provides painless upgrades, minimum implementation time, and the shortest possible time-to-benefit.

* Outsourcing Transportation Management - shippers are outsourcing day-to-day transportation operations while retaining transportation oversight and control over valuable carrier relationships. This improves bottom-line performance, retains organizational flexibility, and maintains appropriate control of transportation operation.
