International Freight & Logistics Network (IFLN) a worldwide association of air, ocean and surface transport intermediaries, has joined forces with DSG-Tradevision, a Descartes subsidiary, to offer its members global track and trace capabilities using the Descartes LogiMan solution.
The software simplifies cargo management by providing comprehensive global visibility and statistical monitoring services of airfreight, ocean and surface shipments, linking the cargo transportation chain from cargo booking through to final delivery confirmation.
Key attractions of the software include its extensive ability to link together supply chain partners with differing levels of IT infrastructure, and the global support provided by Descartes in the many regions where IFLN members are located.
Descartes LogiMan works by exchanging electronic messages in EDI, XML or e-mail format with transportation providers and agent offices. The system can be accessed either by logging on over the Internet using a standard web browser, or by a direct interface with the user's own corporate computer network. The system offers a portfolio of functions including track and trace, automatic generation of alarm messages, regular consignment status reports and statistical data reporting.
