Distribution Data Incorporated - Company
History - Distribution Data Incorporated (DDI) was started in 1985 with the major goal of providing a 100% customized freight invoice processing and payment service. We are the only major firm in our industry actively growing today that began as strictly a freight payment start-up. As our expertise grew, we realized there was a significant need for logistics consulting to coincide with freight invoice payment. Additionally, the potential existed for DDI to develop programs using our industry knowledge to create win-win situations for our clients. DDI personnel have been in the industry for many years serving in a variety of capacities. We bring a wealth of experience to our clients and years of expertise are represented in finance and accounting, transportation and audit, programming, operations and customer service. Today, DDI is a total transportation management and information processing company, providing complete and customized freight bill payment and reporting, transportation savings programs, specialized programming, broker services, small package analysis, and accounting support services.
Leadership - The DDI Executive Management Team is:
Robert W. Hartig - President
Bob is the founder of Distribution Data Incorporated. Prior to 1985, he was a Vice President with Ameritrust Bank N.A. Bob is a graduate of Purdue University with a degree in Industrial Management. At Ameritrust Bank, one area of his responsibility was the bank's freight payment department. Distribution Data Incorporated was created because of a need to expand the freight payment concept into a complete transportation management service, which could not be accomplished within the bank's corporate structure.
