Development of a Unified Cloud-Based Logistics Management System with Real-Time Shipment and Carrier Data Integration

The organization operates with a broad network of carriers and multiple legacy systems, which hinder real-time visibility into inventory and shipment statuses. The outdated platform restricts integration capabilities, complicates data consolidation, and impairs the ability to optimize fleet utilization and improve load efficiency. Additionally, customers lack transparent, real-time tracking of their shipments, impacting service quality and operational agility.
