Info

Outweb develops system to aggregate container tracking data from port to door. Outweb's client is a company that provides freight forwarding and logistics management services for major U.S.-based retailers. The company's customers continually seek more accurate information regarding ocean-, rail- and road-based shipments from manufacturers to distribution centers and retail stores. Outweb is implementing a first-of-its-kind logistics management portal for the company's customers. The portal will allow shipping customers to "track and trace" every shipment placed through the company, regardless of which carrier is handling the shipment or which combination of ocean, rail or road carriers are employed. The portal will collect and manage all shipping status information in a central location, eliminating the need for customers to contact each carrier for status updates. In addition, the portal will provide exception-based reporting and alerts based on business rules. The company's customers benefit greatly from faster access to better information.
