Industry experience, patented technology and cost transparency cited as key differentiators
Odyssey Logistics will manage inbound and outbound logistics for most of Lanxess’ business across North America, including complete transportation services such as carrier selection and qualification, contract negotiations, claims and non-conformance management and reporting, as well as tendering and freight audit and payment services.
The Lanxess enterprise resource planning system has been integrated with the Odyssey Global Logistics PlatformSM, a patented technology infrastructure that provides a single, integrated transportation management system.
