DDC FPO Introduces IT Outsourcing Suite of Services to Meet the Needs of Transportation and Logistics Industries

Freight business process outsourcing company DDC FPO announces new IT offering to support programming and development throughout supply chain

January 25, 2021 / Evergreen, CO -- DDC FPO, a trusted partner for global business process solutions to the transportation and logistics industries, is now offering a new IT Outsourcing suite of services designed to support the advancement of technology development throughout the supply chain.

By combining over 30 years of business process experience, over 15 years of deep freight industry expertise, and an expansive range of programming and engineering skills, DDC will help its partners close IT gaps and meet development milestones while also hitting their financial targets.


The average salary for US IT professionals is $113,6391. With the US Bureau of Labor Statistics2 estimating that about 531,200 new IT jobs will need to be filled in the next 10 years due to advances in cloud computing, big data, and information security, projected overhead costs could be the primary factor preventing companies from pursuing technology goals.

As a global service provider with personnel across North America, Europe, and Asia-Pacific, DDC is able to work closely with clients to identify and find the best skillset at compelling price points among the company’s strategic operating locations.

“All of DDC’s IT team members have been with the company since its first freight projects kicked off over 15 years ago,” said Chad Crotty, DDC’s Vice President of Sales. “New programmers are trained as needed to continue to meet our customers’ objectives, ensure scalability, and drive a profitable return for our clients’ IT investments.”

DDC’s highly skilled team of mid-to-senior level programmers in a wide variety of languages eliminates the need for the client to spend any additional time training. “We continue to cross-train, hire, and educate new recruits through a hands-on training program,” explains Crotty.

The four primary service categories include Systems Development, Database Development, .NET Programming, and E-commerce.

  • Systems Development: 
    • EDI (Electronic Data Interchange), RPG, PHP, .NET, and API
  • Database Development: 
    • MS Access, SQLite, MySQL, PostgreSQL, and MS SQL
  • .NET Programming: 
  • E-commerce:
    • Mobile Applications, Websites, User Portals, and Analytics Dashboards

In addition to all of these skillsets that are readily available, Crotty clarifies that DDC has the capability to support any additional training requirements requested. “Whether it’s EDI Workbench, B2Bi/Lightwell, or any other specific training, as long as we understand what the needs of the client are, we will supply the trainings necessary."

"We are excited to embark on this new opportunity as we continue to broaden our service capabilities for our partners,” said Crotty. “IT Outsourcing facilitates the convergence of individual company development goals and greater industry technology initiatives to achieve levels of advancement that benefit the global supply chain.”

Australian supermarket chain rolls out AI-powered grocery carts

Grocery shoppers in Australia will soon be able to zip in and out of the store in record time, bypassing the lines for cashiers or self-checkout kiosks altogether. They can just walk in, make their selections, and walk out with their bags in hand.

The secret to this express shopping experience is the “Caper Cart,” an AI (artificial intelligence)-powered smart trolley from San Francisco-based Instacart. In its first deployment in the Asia Pacific (APAC) region, the system is being tested by Coles Supermarkets, a food and beverage retailer with more than 1,800 grocery and liquor stores throughout the country.

How green is your glue?

If you’re looking to make the packaging process more eco-friendly, the obvious place to start is with the box itself. And that’s exactly what Salt Lake City-based Packsize did when it made its initial foray into sustainable packaging back in 2002. That year, the company launched its first product, an innovative on-demand packaging system designed to reduce cardboard waste (and the need for filler material) by creating a right-sized box for each shipment.

Now the company is ready for the next step: greening up the glue.
