WHAT’S NEEDED: SINGLE POINT OF CONTROL OVER GLOBAL TRANSPORTATION AND COMPLIANCE In global commerce, the opportunity is there, yet so is the challenge: overcoming the traditional information and shipment relay among third party specialists, all on a seemingly wait-and-hope delivery timetable. Dominated by manual processes, international freight management is complex for even single-point or single-product shipments, often requiring a separate department to handle global moves. There is a solution; SaaS-based transportation management systems can bridge borders, close gaps, and simplify the complexity associated with documentation, compliance, currency and language. LeanTMS®, for example, integrates the workflow of global transportation, giving transportation planners virtually the same UI for managing global containers as it does for domestic truckloads. What’s more, LeanGlobal® functionality networks shippers, suppliers, freight forwarders, air and ocean carriers, intermodal and truckload carriers, customs and customers on a single platform for accountability and visibility.

LeanGlobal helps mitigate variations from norm, by implementing a well defined process, with checks and balances along the way.
