OCEANWIDE.COM INTRODUCES FORWARDING SOFTWARE
Oceanwide.com, a Canadian logistics software provider, has introduced a forwarding operations and documentation software system called ForwarderLogic.
Oceanwide calls the system an “extranet” application that enables forwarders to link their offices on the Internet and trade documents with carriers and shippers online. The software is being made available on a pay-as-you-go basis. Clients pay for customization and installation, but then are charged for actual use of the system via transaction fees instead of a licensing agreement.
Oceanwide says the application service provider (ASP) model makes its system well-suited for smaller forwarders that can’t afford to make a significant up-front investment in information technology.
