Moving Heavy Machinery in the Cloud

March 6, 2015

Solution: Understanding the challenge of developing its own ocean shipment solution in-house, the manufacturer ultimately chose to partner with GT Nexus to integrate its electronic data interchange (EDI) with its core container carriers over a cloud-based network.

Results: Since integrating with its carrier network in the cloud, the manufacturer has reduced its in-transit inventory by 15 percent, it has established strategically located control towers, and has reduced booking times by 95 percent. It communicates with 20 carriers worldwide with 85 percent of its transport requests taking place in the cloud.

About the Solution Provider: GT Nexus is the developer and operator of the largest cloud supply chain platform of its kind, with over $100 billion in goods managed annually and over 25,000 active trading organizations across all major industries. GT Nexus is the largest, most complete and active global logistics provider network in the world.
