One Network’s technology is based on a multi-party, multi-tier visibility, and collaboration. Leveraging One Network, Dana is able to manage the inbound supply for its commercial vehicle operations and also manage its intercontinental freight operations using One Networks’ Intelligent Logistics and Transportation Management Solution. In addition, Dana now has quick access to inventory data at third-party warehouse facilities, which was not previously possible. Along with the inventory reductions, Dana has also realized a drop in shortages and expediting costs by having the right inventory, at the right place, at the right time.
