Business
J.B. Hunt is North America�s third-largest logistics company. It supplements or fully supports the transportation needs of customers in a wide variety of industries. The company adds value to the supply chain by reducing costs and improving services through dedicated logistics, truckload and intermodel management.
Goal
J.B. Hunt depends on IT systems to meet contracts. Sarbanes-Oxley introduced heavy compliance obligations into its operations. Integrated systems are increasingly critical for both operations management and regulatory compliance. J.B. Hunt sought to gather billing and payment systems from 300 scattered sites into a centralized contract management system, and to develop powerful software for implementing policies.
Application
J.B. Hunt used ILOG JRules business rule management to bring dispersed systems under one roof. Integrated companywide billing and payroll systems reduced workload and eased system security, updates and maintenance.
Results
Centralized systems dramatically improved operations and compliance with industry regulations. Better control enables J.B. Hunt to keep applications aligned with operations and regulations. The integrated solution reduces billing oversights, increases payroll management accuracy and boosts invoice completion.
Technical
ILOG JRules provides a central repository for storing system rules. Changes made to rules in the repository are automatically distributed to billing and payroll applications. This provides an immediate benefit to all 300 J.B. Hunt company sites.
