EAST RUTHERFORD, NJ, October 19, 2004, Management Dynamics, Inc., the market leader in quote and contract management solutions for the ocean transportation industry, today announced M.O.T. Intermodal Shipping has selected Rate Explorer to manage its portfolio of ocean contracts and rate agreements. With the Rate Explorer Quote Manager module, M.O.T. sales teams can rapidly develop customized rate quotes to drive sales volumes higher.

Rate Explorer is a web-based ocean contract management service that manages all of M.O.T. Intermodal's U.S. trade contracts and non-U.S. trade rate agreements. Since Rate Explorer links directly with carrier rules tariffs, M.O.T. significantly reduces the research time required to prepare a rate quote and eliminates the manual effort of tracking all the changes in GRIs and assessorial surcharges. For the company's sales team, Rate Explorer dramatically simplifies ocean pricing and automates the preparation of rate quotations to support "one call quotes".

"Rate Explorer is the most comprehensive system we evaluated and further enhances our customer service by turning around rate requests faster," said Ole Enderslev, founder and president of M.O.T. Intermodal Shipping. "As we continue to expand our business, Rate Explorer helps us improve the productivity of our sales team and offer customers a unique and differentiated experience."

"Rate Explorer's ability to automate a portfolio of FMC-filed contracts, non-U.S. trade rate agreements, and spot market rates makes sense for growing global service providers like M.O.T. Intermodal," said John Preuninger, president of Management Dynamics. "Faster customer response delivers incrementally more business and is an important competitive advantage for companies like M.O.T. Intermodal."
