Gravity Supply Chain, a developer of cloud-based apps that helps companies modernize the management of their global supply chains, released RTM (Route-to-Market), a new tile for its Transport app that provides up-to-date sailing schedules for over 50 major ocean carriers, over 250,000 port pairs covering over 90 percent of the world’s container capacity. Transport RTM is an advanced solution that enables logistics providers to deliver these capabilities directly to their customers as part of their end-to-end supply chain visibility and execution solution.
The Transport RTM tile offers a sailing schedules search engine 3PLs and supply chain managers can use to select any global port pair and date range, and instantly see all sailing options. Uploading information related to contracted rates with various shipping lines enables users to create lists of routes that can be filtered by factors such as quickest sailing route and cost.
“RTM is the newest feature of our mission to create one holistic data hub that provides our users with the real-time information they need to view, control, share and execute sourcing, supply, transport, inventory and selling activities anywhere in the world,” said Darren Palfrey, COO, Gravity Supply Chain. “This is especially valuable to 3PLs struggling to close the technology gap between what shippers need, and what all but the industry’s largest players can offer.”
The RTM tile is available today at no additional cost to all Transport app users. The Transport app integrates with your transportation partners and systems and automates the creation of packing lists, advance ship notices and compliance documents, and provides real-time tracking so retailers, brands and product companies know where their products are at all times with real-time tracking visibility. Transport is one app in Gravity’s suite of apps that make up its cloud-based end-to-end supply chain management and logistics platform.
