LOGISTICS

Features include real-time paperless tracking,frictionless information exchange, process automation, and optimised asset utilisation - as well as total container movement visibility for more proactive planning. The result is lowered cost of operations and improved profitability for one of the world's most essential industries.

Next week could see the imposition of US$200 Billion in tariffs levied on China, if they do not agree, but the pressure to cave is immense. ... read more
