TransWorks Announces Partnership With OmniSource

(FORT WAYNE, Indiana)  OmniSource, one of the largest processors and distributors of scrap and secondary metals in North America, has chosen to implement the TransWorks Transportation Management System (TMS)/Supply Chain Execution (SCE) solution, it was announced today.

TransWorks solutions have a proven record of reducing transportation costs, automating processes and improving departmental efficiency. "OmniSource is committed to exceeding customer requirements with regard to on-time pickups and deliveries," said Chris Skidmore, Transportation Manager at OmniSource. "We demand a reliable TMS platform that enables consistent, repeatable results, and transactional visibility of the order-to-dispatch-to-customer process. TransWorks provides that," said Skidmore.

Skidmore expects that the Software as a Service (SaaS) solution delivered by TransWorks will enable improved end-to-end supply chain collaboration, and real-time responses, thus giving OmniSource a competitive transportation advantage. "The SaaS model is a transactional cost that allows us to meet our Return On Investment (ROI) requirements without investing capital for a software purchase, and it also avoids maintenance costs," said Skidmore.
