Old Dominion Freight Line Receives 2011 Quest for Quality Award

Carrier Cites Brainware Distiller as Key IT Investment

August 10, 2011, Ashburn, VA—Brainware, Inc., the leading provider of intelligent data capture and enterprise search solutions, congratulates Old Dominion Freight Line (ODFL) on receiving a 2011 Quest for Quality Award from Logistics Management magazine. Among other internal initiatives taken to leverage technology investments towards a more efficient and profitable operation, Old Dominion cited their implementation of Brainware Distiller for Remittances as a key contributor to the carrier’s success.

Earlier this year, ODFL’s Vice President of Information Technology, Ken Erdner, discussed the remarkable results achieved upon introducing Brainware into the company’s well-oiled remittance processing operation.

“Eighty percent of our remittances are handled before they’ve even walked in the door,” said Erdner. “As a result of all the automation that we’ve deployed, we’re using the same number of staff members in Accounts Receivable today as a $1.5 billion company, as we did as a $200 million company, so it really has performed well. Our continuous improvement in this area is obviously driven by several initiatives, but Brainware is a key element of keeping our AR staff at an effective and efficient level.”

“In discussing the efficiency and visibility needs of our customers and prospective customers, Brainware consistently touts the operational and profitable benefits of marrying best practices to scalable, readily capable business technology, and Old Dominion Freight Line’s story embodies that proposition,” said Carl Mergele, Chief Executive Officer at Brainware. “We congratulate them on their continued success, and for receiving this well-deserved honor.”
