Plano, TX, September 21, 2015 (Newswire.com) - Revenue Technology Services corp (RTS Corp) is pleased to announce that Brittany Ferries Freight division has gone live with the second phase of the RTS CargoProfitOpt as the solution to meet its freight revenue management requirements. The second phase of the implementation included Demand Forecasting, Bid Price Optimization, Customer Value and Wait List Management modules. The first phase of the solution included capacity management modules and has been live since 3rd quarter of 2014.
This is huge accomplishment as this is the ferry industry’s first such solution. With this implementation, RTS adds to its list of several firsts in its long history of 32 years; first passenger revenue management solution developed for Republic Airways, first cargo price optimization solution for Virgin Atlantic Cargo, and now the first revenue management solution for the freight ferry market for Brittany Ferries. This also reiterates the thought leadership shown by both the companies to shake the status quo and make significant improvements to how freight is managed in the industry.

About Brittany Ferries
Founded in 1972 by proud Breton Alexis Gourvennec and a group of fellow Breton farmers wanting to export their cauliflowers and artichokes to the UK, Brittany Ferries is now the leading maritime carrier on the western and central channel. Gourvennec formed the company, formerly known as Armement Bretagne-Angleterre-Irelande, or B.A.I. for short, which was officially born on a bleak New Year's Day in 1973 with French, British and Breton flags flying and a choir singing carols. With Britain's entry into the Common Market in 1973, Gourvennec saw his chance to end the geographical isolation of Brittany. Realising the quickest route to this new market would be across the western channel to Plymouth, he contacted several large shipping companies to no avail and began setting up his own company by purchasing a freighter, the Kerisnel, named after a small Breton village famous for its cauliflowers - with the Breton farmers who are still the company's main shareholders today.
