Descartes Federated Global Logistics
Descartes recognizes the challenges that logistics operators face, and has built its business around creating a Resources in Motion Management System (RiMMS) that enables the movement of goods, the conveyance assets used (e.g. pallets, containers, vehicles), the people associated with the movement of these goods and the documents that accompany these movements.
At the heart of this approach is the Descartes Federated Global Logistics Network (GLN) which brings together transportation carriers, logistics service providers (NVOCCs, freight forwarders, air cargo forwarders and truck carriers) and their customers (manufacturers, distributors, retailers), and authorities in a shared services environment using standardized business processes. The Descartes Federated GLN also unites hardware, software, networks partners and a community of partner organizations to help manage resources in motion. By providing a platform to unite the logistics industry and its partners, the Descartes Federated GLN enables participants to work together to automate multi-party business processes and share critical information to accelerate productivity improvements and cost savings.
The key to future success for logistics intensive organizations lies with a federated network. This inter-enterprise collaborative model is one that unites all members engaged in a business process to reduce implementation times, accelerate investment returns and simplify the complexities that are challenging the logistics industry. This creates a “state of things united.”
Descartes' RiMMS single source solution, is a cornerstone for creating a “state of things united” for customers, enabling them to dramatically accelerate returns on investment and achieve the business results that impact their bottom line.
In addition to managing inventory, conveyance assets, people and documents, RiMMS exploits the congruence of key functional areas where organizations can standardize business processes, simplify daily logistics tasks, improve service, and reduce the cost and complexity of managing global supply chains.
