LogiView Software to Enable Total Supply Chain Visibility
DENVER--Cadre Technologies is proud to announce a significant new subcontract with KC SmartPort, the country’s premier inland port solution. The lead contractor on the project selected Cadre to develop and maintain software to support SmartPort’s Trade Data Exchange (TDE), a secure Internet accessible portal that will be accessed and run by TDE members and service providers. The TDE tracking software will be modeled on Cadre’s LogiView® system to enable anyone using it to have total supply chain visibility.
LogiView is a Web-based software solution that allows users to track and manage inventory levels and movements throughout a supply chain. The LogiView application is widely used and meets the demands of customers requiring real-time, easy access to information during all phases of the merchandise fulfillment process.
Railroads, boats and trucks all use different visibility tracking systems. Currently, anyone trying to track a shipment through the center of the country using more than one shipping method must sign into and monitor different systems. One of the goals of the TDE is to combine these shipping methods into one system. The TDE will also provide specific information about all aspects of the shipping phase. Members will be able to monitor who is handling the freight and at what time it passed from one shipper to another. A by-product of this efficiency and information availability is security, which is vital in the current business climate. The TDE is expected to be operational in the first quarter of 2008.
Joe Caston, chief executive officer for Cadre Technologies, said, “We are honored to have been selected to work with KC SmartPort on this groundbreaking project. We are looking forward to hosting the software solution that will provide another layer of security while moving freight across our country. Once completed, the TDE will be a model for efficiency in shipping visibility and tracking, and will be a great way for companies to gain and maintain a competitive advantage.”
