Sage developer xkzero has partnered with technology-enabled transportation and supply chain management services provider Echo Global Logistics Inc. to offer integrated transportation logistics for Sage ERP products.
The new offering, called xkzero Transportation Management by Echo, will provide a software and managed services product natively integrated into Sage ERP systems. The program will allow users to shop for the best less-thantruckload (LTL) options directly from within the Sage ERP quote/order entry then book the shipment when ready.
The product is currently available for Sage 100 ERP and versions for Sage 500 ERP and ERP X3 are planned for later 2013 release.
“Our solution with Echo is creating a new category of ERP automation that will be valuable for companies requiring LTL shipping,” said xkzero co-founder Paul Ziliak. “Managed services will relieve the burdens on a client's transportation management team and a seamless integration into Sage ERP will save time on every shipment.”
