Information Management
We supply standard "templates" for each unique operational event sequence, which includes consolidation, transshipment or reconsolidation, and destination milestones. Information flows in a collaborative fashion with each station (Origin, Gateway and Destination) adding incremental data to the current shipment data pool. This significantly reduces the redundant key-stroking and filing inherent with manual processes that are employed by many non-integrated NVOCCs and freight forwarders.
Trade Managers integrate the best parts of both consolidation-management and transportation-management systems by providing visibility to what is in the container, down to the purchase order (PO) and stock keeping unit (SKU) detail. This includes visibility to container and shipment transport events along a customer's supply chain, which is provided by transportation management systems. Through a single application, Trade Manager, logistics providers can deliver inventory-in-transit visibility to their customers as well as manage transportation events from origin to destination.
