The transportation industry is directly impacted by the changing dynamics of the global economy. With expectations of lower costs and increased volumes, the drive for cheaper global sourcing has prompted a greater interest in international transportation. Global corporations are demanding that transportation and logistics providers provide more information, visibility and services at lower costs. In turn, transportation providers are under pressure to integrate processes which introduce automation and provide value added services to their customers.

Transportation and logistics providers face the challenge of transforming their businesses into information service providers to meet the demand for additional supply chain information and services from their customers. Global corporations are no longer satisfied with traditional service provision and service levels. In addition to providing traditional forwarding, transportation, and brokerage services, corporations are looking for partners who can provide value added content, services, and technology to help reduce overall supply chain costs. As international supply chain & logistics management rules increase in complexity, more and more is expected in the knowledge base and in the service provision offered by service providers. Global corporations are increasingly seeking partners who can provide expertise, services, and technology throughout the order, fulfillment, and financial settlement processes.

To stay competitive in today’s environment, Transportation and logistics providers and their agents need to add functionality to reflect best practices and capitalize on new opportunity. In the past, that generally meant a heavy capital investment in expensive custom programming and IT support staff.

In addition to the demands from shareholders, employees and customers, Transportation & Logistics provider must also meet the requirements of IMO, rules and regulations from national administrations and classification societies.

As customer and regulatory conditions change, logistics providers need a technology infrastructure that is highly flexible and can be quickly deployed to meet new challenges. The technology must be open and collaborative to include all Trading Partners including vendors, transportation providers, customs brokers, and financial institutions. The solution must also support any-to-any global logistics and customs processes to support ever-changing global business scenarios.
