Value-based decisions achieved through shipment-level profitability analyses have long been a dream of transportation companies. But it has been an elusive dream, one often frustrated by an inability to gather the appropriate data and subject it to the type of analysis that enables genuine business insight. The dream is no longer elusive.

Companies now can transform the vision into a reality. An Enterprise Data Warehouse that contains a Teradata Transportation Logical Data Model and Teradata Value Analyzer allows companies to gain and take full advantage of a single view of the enterprise. With that capability well in hand, transportation logistics companies will increase quality revenue, reduce costs, improve efficiencies, drive increased profits and, ultimately, improve shareholder value.

This white paper outlines a proven methodology for building the database and a logical data model tailored to the needs of transportation logistics companies.
