As technological and political barriers continue to fall, transportation will continue to be the center of the world economy. Freight carriers must simultaneously manage multiple incoming and outgoing shipments from multiple warehouses in multiple localities to multiple clients in the most cost effective manner.

They must have the ability to track cargo throughout the process and share this information with customers and partners in real time.
