OrderWare’s Shipment Tracking Solutions addresses a number of key requirements in the shipment process including:

• Visibility – Need to provide all parties in the supply chain with a consistent view of the product, using common descriptions and codes.  All of these parties need to know where shipments are 24x7 and the systems tracking must respond to events in the supply chain as they happen in real time
• Access – Visibility of shipments for each service provider working in different time zones and countries, and their part of the process.
• Intermodal transport – The movement of shipments from one mode, truck to rail, rail to store, ship to port, must be visible, together with the route, location and current and planned modes of transport.
• Factory gate pricing – manufacturers are pressured to provide factory gate pricing by retailers who use managed supply chain services to reduce total cost of goods supplied.
• Security – knowledge of expected routes affects security requirements, as well as guarantees of product quality.
• Collaboration – coordinating the supply of goods from source to delivery across partners.   Even when the shipment must pass from one country to another with an ocean crossing and involving manufacturers, transporters, cargo and freight forwarding, sea freight and port services providers, barging, customs, warehousing providers, rail and road services.
