With the Internet increasingly impacting International Trade, businesses are seeking and expecting real-time collaboration and a better experience with their supply chain systems.
IFC has responded to this by developing and leveraging software systems that allow businesses to be in total control of their supply chain information.
Shipment Tracking
IFC's own web base freight and information management system, Freight Supply Chain (FSC), was developed from the ground up to provide realtime track and trace capabilities at product order level, from order placement right through to end delivery. FSC allows full collaboration and online information sharing between:
-
importers and suppliers
-
suppliers and forwarding agents
-
forwarding agents and business partners
-
forwarding agents and importers
-
forwarding agents and transport companies
-
importers and transport companies
-
importers and direct container buyers
-
importers and their branches
3PL Tracking
To our FSC shipment tracking software we add web portal ordering and visibility of warehousing and inventory by way of a leading warehouse management system from Manhattan Associates. Our 3PL Tracking system allows data flow and user collaboration between:
-
warehousing clients and IFC
-
IFC and overseas consolidation depots
-
point-of-origin to IFC (for advance ship notice (ASN))
-
stores direct to IFC (orders via EDI)
