SMARTER LOGISTICS WITH MORE RELIABLE DATA

With an increasing number of channels to market and a dynamic political trade environment, getting your goods to the right place at the right time is becoming an even more challenging problem to solve.

TradeLens helps you easily bring data from the world’s largest containerized freight blockchain platform to your internal systems, giving you a single source of the truth for inventory location and the flexibility to move inventory to match demand.

Gathering consistently reliable data from all supply chain participants can be a challenge.

Information black holes – including exact location and status of goods that can’t be determined – makes it nearly impossible to answer that all-important question: where are your goods?

With TradeLens, you can access trusted end-to-end information shared across the supply chain to pinpoint your answer. The blockchain-connected ecosystem and trusted, verified data direct from the source can be used to provide updates in near real-time to both you and your end customers.

In the supply chain world, speed of information is important not just for inventory management – but for customer satisfaction as well.

A recent study revealed that providing faster customer responses was the top priority for businesses. Considering up to 80 percent of revenue comes from existing customers, service like this is essential in maintaining strong customer relationships.

To help you respond proactively to customers – and to increase their satisfaction – TradeLens offers near real-time data, status updates and alerts for exceptions across your end-to-end supply chain, enabling earlier decision making and faster implementation of mitigating actions.

The statistics paint a challenging picture. Seventy percent of firms describe their supply chains as “very” or “extremely complex.”

Only six percent say they have “full visibility” into the entire supply chain. And 74 percent of firms that use up to five different transportation modes find the ability to share data across their supply chains is a major challenge.

Imagine workflows and transportation processes that extend to all of your trading partners in near real-time. TradeLens forms the foundation for a new generation of actionable and automated processes founded on trusted data and permissioned access.

Legacy systems and point-to-point communication structures hamper the flexibility you need to operate in today's dynamic omnichannel environment.

Further, data supporting these systems is susceptible to blind spots, making accurate decisions more difficult – with lost sales or discounting as all-too-familiar results.

TradeLens helps you innovate your way into a new generation of automated data capturing and publishing. Across your supply chain, the platform can reduce manual processes by populating your internal systems with a single, stable, multichannel feed of trusted shipping events and trade documents.

Point-to-point EDI connections have been the norm in the transportation industry for the last few decades.

These connections are costly to set up and maintain, and are limited in reporting new information or communicating exceptions as they happen.

TradeLens uses open APIs to reduce integration time and remove costly EDI maintenance. Evolve your supply chain communication with flexible connectivity and simple, seamless integration via API calls to the largest blockchain-enabled supply chain platform in the industry.
