INTEGRATED GLOBAL TRACKING AND VIRTUAL INVENTORY SYSTEM |
摘要 |
Disclosed is an integrated global shipment system that provides end-to-end visibility of the movement of a package. The integrated global shipment syst em employs a shipment consolidating application for integrating one or more freight tracking systems with one or more end-delivery systems. As a result, shippers are provided with complete visibility of the movement of their shipments of goods from an origin country to a destination country and till the final consignees. In addition, the integrated shipment system significantly decreases the cost of managing inventories by providing a virtual inventory solution. Under this virtual inventory solution, suppliers are able to bypass distribution centers and delay allocation of goods until after the importation of goods into a destination country.
