BlueGrace Logistics acquired Evos Smart Tools, a Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) optimization platform that helps shippers maximize resources and reduce costs through advanced supply chain algorithms and real-time data analytics.
“I’m thrilled to have Evos as part of the BlueGrace family,” says Bobby Harris, BlueGrace founder and CEO. “Our BlueGrace Managed Logistics clients use technology to ensure every shipment is optimized for efficiency and profitability, in turn giving them sustainable growth and a competitive advantage in the marketplace. Adding Evos to our proprietary SaaS portfolio will benefit our current customer base, and future ones looking to streamline the logistics lifecycle.”
Key takeaways:
- Evos Smart Tools offers advanced order optimization algorithms based on customized business rules, configurable variables, and API connections to create load plans that align with unique customer requirements. It can be used as a standalone application, or integrated into proprietary, third-party rating engines and transportation management system (TMS) platforms for dynamic route planning, shipment consolidation and network optimization.
- BlueGrace plans to enhance its existing BlueShip platform by integrating Evos for real-time optimization and will continue to sell the SaaS platform as a standalone product.
“Comprehensive analytics further enable the process by giving visibility to route guide compliance and root cause analysis to drive continuous improvement,” says Jason Lockard, SVP of managed logistics for BlueGrace.
"Enabling our customers through technology forms a cornerstone of BlueGrace, and through this acquisition we'll offer them unparalleled efficiency and savings. This marks another milestone in our pursuit of revolutionary AI and machine learning technologies," says Azad Ratzki, chief technology officer for BlueGrace.
