Enterpulse Helps Major Transportation/Logistics Company Get On Track with Online Payment
Company Supports Credit Card Processing to Automate Processes and Reduce Costs

Atlanta, GA (February 1, 2005) - With the help of Enterpulse, the Company last year launched a new global information architecture for the corporate site, including a new design and navigation for three major business units. The Company is now equipped with a secure, flexible, easy-to-maintain site that uses BEA technology as a scalable foundation and affords security options at the portal level. As part of the business process analysis efforts undertaken during this initiative, the Company uncovered opportunities to make the payment processes more efficient and streamline formerly unmanaged sources of revenue within three (3) of business units: Real Estate, Intermodal, and Miscellaneous Payments.

For each of these divisions, the Company recognized the need to implement online payment methods for its customers, while enabling real-time integration with the different systems housing the payment and tracking data. They looked to Enterpulse to help them do just that.

As part of the overall approach, Enterpulse leveraged Web Services as the underlying foundation to enable communication to the company's credit card processing company - a nationally known financial services provider. The team addressed each e-commerce effort within the three business units using digital certificates and SSL protocol for data encryption over HTTPS to ensure the highest level of security. With each of the business units' content and applications operating under the portal umbrella, Enterpulse was able to use the financial service provider's integration point to support real-time payment authorization across three separate interfaces.

Having recently implemented the credit card processing capabilities for these business units, the Company is on track to:

Streamline the payment process and reduce costs associated with time-intensive, manual processes such as phone and fax communication

Facilitate the collection of outstanding stored cargo fees by offering a convenient, online payment method and real-time visibility for customers and shippers to view amounts owed

Reduce time spent researching lease applications for applicants who pay with checks backed by insufficient funds
