The statement made famous by the ancient Greek philosopher Plato is the reason The Logistics Department was formed in 1995. But the story does not start there... The vision of what is now The Logistics Department ( TLD ) had its beginnings in the 80's when one of the founders was searching for a way to maximize the value of the partner relationships he had formed with a core group of transportation providers. His goals were to ensure the partners were only awarded business that best fit their capabilities, that they were rewarded with a reasonable profit, and that his employer received these services at the best possible price. Intuitively, he knew that to be a preferred partner while simultaneously meeting his employer's goals, he must have an up-to-date, accurate, and complete knowledge of his business requirements. Something that at the time was easier said than done... As a result, the "necessity" was born. This was the beginning of a passion to find, secure, or "invent" tools that would fulfill this necessity. Tools that would enable the practitioner to quickly and easily transform vast amounts of information into actionable knowledge that would be of value to all partners. Soon after beginning to use the tools invented to meet the stated necessity, it became apparent that others could benefit by having access to these same tools. This realization opened the next chapter of our story. Licensing of the original technology and tools created for companies who were providing pre-audit and payment services. For several years, numerous pre-audit and payment companies successfully grew their businesses, by offering the tools that had been created and were being continually enhanced, to current and new clients.
