Where is my stuff? Your customers always want to know where their 'stuff'
is. If you have a small business that ships what it sells, or if you are
buying from one, this happens all the time: once a shipment has left your
premises, it is completely invisible to you or your customers for most of
the time. You are depending on the efficiency and good will of a carrier
with whom you often have no direct communication, should anything go wrong.
Meanwhile, your customer is just as much in the dark as you are. It is
hardly better for the party organising the transport, who has no way to make
sure that the delivery address is correct, that there will be someone to
receive the package, or simply to let someone know that the vehicle is stuck
in a traffic jam.

VisibleLogistics solves this visibility problem. When you are running a
small business, keeping track of orders and shipments is vital but it can
also be very time-consuming. Phone calls, sending e-mail and sending faxes
are all-important for managing communication with suppliers, transporters
and customers. You frequently have to re-enter all of this information in
spreadsheets, to keep records, which duplicates effort and wastes precious
time. The ideal tool for small and medium businesses
With VisibleLogistics,
smaller businesses can cut down this time spent on communicating.
VisibleLogistics combines the processes linked to orders, inventory and
communication with the other partners of the supply chain into one on-line
on-demand application. VisibleLogistics monitors order and shipment status,
and automatically sends e-mails to the relevant parties when important
changes are made. Unlike the track-and-trace systems provided by the express
carriers and large shipping companies, you can use VisibleLogistics to
monitor shipments across different carriers and transport modes. This can be
useful if agents are moving shipments with a variety of different carriers.
VisibleLogistics is indeed used by small forwarders to provide shipment
monitoring and status updates to their customers. It enables them to provide
service levels that match those of their larger competitors. The benefits of
VisibleLogistics are improved accuracy, round the clock availability of
information for customers and a single view of all order and shipment
activity.
VisibleLogistics is designed to support small businesses by:
managing orders using an easy to use application controlled through any
standard web browser giving buyers and carriers on-line access to
information about orders, status and catalogues notifying business partners
by e-mail or SMS when orders are created and when statuses change adding
comments to orders, communicating with business partners and vice-versa. The
message to shippers can be summarised as - Sell it, Ship it, See it The
basic features of VisibleLogistics are free to use and are described at
www.visiblelogistics.com .
