The four key fundamentals of the system are;-

IN TRANSIT VISIBILITY
This can be provided at container level, product level, P.O. or S.O. level or vendor or customer level to offer maximum flexibility and to incorporate consistency across the customers operations.

INVENTORY MANAGEMENT
Visibility is maintained through a number of stages incorporating in transit, on hand, allocated to order or quality inspection. The visibility is consistent across the entire network whether a customer is working with one or multiple warehouses.

DOCUMENT MANAGEMENT
To eradicate the need to move commercial and shipping documents physically through the process the system enables document capture and management by ˇ°attachingˇ± those documents to the respective consignment and subsequently making them visible to all parties in the chain.

REPORTING
The system is specifically designed to facilitate simplicity of report writing and excel downloads so that customers can manipulate the data for them own internal needs and to share across their business. Another critical feature of the system is the exception reporting element enabling customers to focus on these elements.
