download 
Dan Goodwill & Associates Inc., one of North America’s leading transportation consulting
companies announces the appointment of Jim Papineau as the company’s Director, Supply Chain
Systems & Automation. Jim will be primarily focused on helping shippers and carriers document
their business model, structures and potential processes to be automated and recommend
improvements to existing practices and rules. Jim will also conduct detailed process and
integration walkthroughs with stakeholders to review process plans and create a design
specification or RFP for a Transportation Management Software (TMS) System. He will also
facilitate the implementation of the TMS system and the recruitment of IT personnel to manage
the system, if requested.
Jim brings a wealth of experience in transportation and TMS systems technology to the consulting
practice having held a number of executive positions with Descartes Systems, Purolator Courier and
TNT. Dan Goodwill, President of Dan Goodwill & Associates commented that “during these difficult
economic times, it is important for shippers and carriers to obtain the maximum value for the
money they spend on transportation technology. Jim’s extensive real world experience will be of
enormous benefit to our clients as they seek to automate manual processes or upgrade existing
systems to improve capacity, extend competitive services and reduce costs.”
“We bring a fresh and unbiased approach to the TMS design and selection process,” commented
Jim Papineau. “We analyze various design/build and purchase options and make recommendations
on the TMS solution (s) that is best for our clients. We will not be constrained by the scope of a
particular solution vendor’s products. For companies that have never purchased a TMS system or
have purchased a system that has not performed up to expectations, we will take much of the
worry out of the purchase and improvement decisions. We will also assist our clients to ensure a
successful implementation, if required.”
Dan Goodwill & Associates provides a full range of transportation consulting services to shippers
including freight bids, network design studies and freight rate benchmarking studies. It also
provides a full range of consulting services to carriers, 3PL’s and private equity firms including
assistance with mergers and acquisitions, strategic alliances and business development.
