February 01, 2007 - “This is a final wakeup call for the people involved in shipping and logistics industry, either you shape your business around technology or you ship out”, says Andrew Goldman of Global-Edge, who led a recent study on how various key industry sectors have evolved to compete and maximize their profitability with the use of technology.
Despite huge investments, this industry is ailing for more than a decade, mostly due to underutilized resources and failure to create a common marketplace between service users and service providers.
A team of logistics experts have collaborated to resolve the above problems by developing a global project that uses technology to provide a neutral platform to integrate shipping and logistics industry. Heading this team of experts is Mr. Harmeet Kohli, who has a vast experience of working as a logistics and a supply chain consultant for large corporations worldwide.
