The newest release of Pathfinder-Web includes enhanced routing tools, designed in response to customer feedback, delivering uniquely flexible access to the industry's best schedules information.

Portland, Ore. Conducive Technology Corp., a leader in advanced Web Services-based flight information and decision support tools for the transportation and logistics industries, today released a number of significant enhancements to its hosted web application, Pathfinder-Web. With the addition of flexible, advanced routing tools built specifically to address the variable challenges facing air cargo shippers, Pathfinder increases the cost savings and value shippers can realize with the industry's only schedules service designed exclusively for airfreight operations.

The release today includes three important innovations to the Pathfinder-Web route planning application. The Connection Finder presents ranked connection options between any airport with the click of a button. The Routing Assistant lets shippers quickly review and optimize any route with instant access to all flight, RFS and line haul timetables relevant to their route. The new Open-Ended Schedule lookup lets shippers reverse engineer routes with open-ended searches for all departing or arriving schedules for hard to service airports.

"Any forwarder will tell you that all shipping challenges are not created equal." Said Jeff Kennedy, CEO of Conducive Technology. "But only Pathfinder is designed to give access to schedules in multiple ways to solve specific routing problems, thereby improving efficiencies, saving time and money."

The new Pathfinder-Web release also includes the first aggregated RFS and line haul truck schedule direct truck timetable lookup in the industry. With more than 75,000 line haul truck timetables added to the more commonly available RFS services, Pathfinder offers twice as many airfreight ground options than any other service. "The alternative is to call and search the web sites of multiple companies to find the service you need. Pathfinder does the work to gather and maintain the schedules making routing decisions faster and more reliable." Adds Kennedy.
