  interphases, helps you choose the best route for
  transportation

  accurately choosing the route that minimizes

  exponentially

Recommendation

• Our recommendation is to use SSA Globals
  Transportation Planning Software (SSA TP)
• This recommendation was derived from the
  comparison of the two companies demonstrated.
• Its experience and global aspects provide
  additional value for the company behind the
  software.

9
Recommendation

• Automatic updates and more versatile training
  from SSA Global outweighs the increased cost of
  SSA TP
• It is a tool that will benefit management when
  strategizing
• While adding the most value to petPRO,
• SSA TP will equip the senior management staff
  with the tools that are needed to stay one step
  ahead of our competition.
