Trimble introduced a new cloud-based solution that provides on-road supply chain visibility to enhance efficiency for the transport and logistics industry in India—Trimble® trako Visual Cargo. With standard, easy-to-use application process interfaces (API), shippers can seamlessly integrate Visual Cargo with its ERP/TMS system and vehicle location data from the Trimble trako Fleet Management solution to provide trip-based tracking of goods, transit schedule, route and safety compliance.
Visual Cargo is a service-oriented architecture (SOA) based software solution that provides on-demand visibility—from loading to delivery location—of cargo vehicles using Trimble GPS devices. It is a single, common platform for supply chain stake holders, which include consigners, consignees, transporters and vehicle owners, to track and manage the movement of goods in transit.
“Our market research and customer feedback within the Asia Pacific markets indicates that shippers and manufacturers are in critical need of an integrated on-road visibility tool. Visual Cargo enables real-time visibility of their goods in transit to ensure on-time delivery, improve turnaround time and enhance safety compliance,” said Ron Konezny, general manager of Trimble’s Transport & Logistics Division.
