Project Overview
e2log is the transportation management platform for industrial supply chains. Gain the end-to-end visibility and control you need to simplify moving any type of cargo, anywhere in the world.
Challenges:
Planning logistics for over-dimensional cargo (ODC) presents several unique challenges due to the size, weight, and complexity of the shipments. Over-dimensional cargo refers to items that exceed the standard dimensions and weight limits for transportation. These challenges include:
• Higher Cost
• Engineering Expertise
• Clearances and Restrictions
• Safety Concerns
• Regulations and Permits
• Route Planning
• Infrastructure Limitations
• Loading and Unloading
• Coordination and Communication
• Customs and Border Crossings
Solutions:
e2log platform was built with following functionalities to take on challenges faced in logistic planning for ODC:
• RFQ (Request for Quote) process to plan all the activities
• Multiple quotes from freight forwarder to prepare multiple solution
• Option to mix and match services from various freight forwarder
• Reverse Auction process to get best rates
• Restrict selection of sanctioned transshipment port
• Shipment specific communication channel for better coordination
• Checklist for regulations and permits
• Engineering Drawings repository for better handling of cargo
• Document upload for compliance checks
• Invoice management for easy customs clearance
• Activity based tracking
