Schneider National, Inc.:
Building Networks to Add Customer Value

Jeanne W. Ross

September 1995

18

Schneider National, Inc. is in the process of transforming itself from a trucking company to an asset-based logistics company.  The change is a response to customer demands, and offers tremendous potential for long-term growth, but it requires a very different information technology infrastructure than the company has developed for its traditional operations.  This case study identifies the information technology requirements for a logistics company and how Schneider is going about developing them.

Transformation from a trucking company to a logistics company demands a new IT infrastructure.
