Client Testimonials

“Our project entered a dead end. We were not able to design a coherent set of planning parameters. As a result of a clear dimensioning of planning characteristics we could design a fine-grained transport planning solution.”
Project manager Advanced Planning
“As a integrator we were facing complicated pricing agreements with our customers. Due to this myriad of price structures, our invoicing process became labor intensive and prone to faults. McDee helped us out by setting up a clear pricing framework which enabled straight-through processing of our invoices."
Manager Accounts Payable - Transport company
“In the 90 years history of our forwarding agency, we have developed a complicated IT landscape with many one-to-one connections. By implementing the Common Knowledge base and a clear interfacing platform, we became agile and could change business rules on the fly.”
