BDP International Implements Catapult's Global Pricing Tool

PHILADELPHIA, PA and KANSAS CITY, KS--(Marketwire - October 20, 2009) - BDP International, Inc., a leading global logistics and transportation management company, announced today that the company rolled out Catapult International's ocean rate management system called Catapult QMS™.

Catapult consolidated all of BDP's ocean contracts into an easy-to-use web-based system where employees and customers are able to see their best carrier option. Rates and surcharges are managed by Catapult's maritime analysts. Catapult's system allows BDP users to search rates, email quotes, and produce graphic enriched reporting of statistics.

"Catapult has listened to our needs and has responded with a system that improves our efficiencies," notes Diane Cannon, Ocean Pricing Manager at BDP. "We've seen other systems and Catapult, by far, has the most robust and user-friendly application in international rate management at a fraction of the price of their competitors."

The platform currently provides rates and transit times from the steamship lines that BDP contracts with. Several offices from around the world are able to access the system to see their best option from point A to point B.

"BDP has recognized that quote response time to its customers is critical," Bryan Luttrell, COO of Catapult International said. "With our Catapult QMS™, we enjoy being a small indicator in the growth and success of BDP."
