Trade Tech has launched 3-Way e-Booking, a collaborative tool that connects the three stakeholders involved in each shipment—the shipper, the logistics provider and the ocean carrier. The solution creates an environment for the three key decision makers while streamlining the process, eliminating emails, multiple spreadsheets and protecting data from outside parties.
The tool provides its users an alternative to the traditional communication and data organization tools used to manage each shipment. It offers an environment where shippers, logistics providers and ocean carriers can access information and collaborate seamlessly. This eliminates the need for multiple systems and reduces the complexity of managing shipments.
Each party can create, amend, or cancel shipment bookings and can view the status of the shipment in real-time directly. The tool provides real-time updates and shipment details, enabling all parties to track shipments more effectively.
By automating the booking process and centralizing the information, it minimizes human error while also eliminating the need for communication via email and multiple spreadsheets. A log-in system protects the data as well as the integrity of the shipment process by only allowing authorized users access.
3-Way e-Booking will include motor carriers, warehousing/distribution centers and load facilities to help facilitate collaboration and fluidity throughout the entire supply chain.
