Partnership combines the best of real-time, anytime, anywhere access on-the-move

September 18, 2013 - Shanghai, China - Kewill, a leading provider of multimodal transportation software, and CarrierWeb, a pioneer in mobile transportation data management in the international transportation industry, today announced a co-operative collaboration to develop the Transportation Management System (TMS) market in China.

Through this initiative and a combined suite of mobility solutions, Kewill and CarrierWeb are expected to penetrate the China TMS market aggressively by offering a wider range of mobile-enabled solutions to empower customers with real-time, anywhere, anytime access to updates and monitoring to drive greater efficiency and productivity across their logistics and transportation operations.

 "As LSPs increasingly extend to offer new routes by utilizing third party networks or partnerships, technology can act as a barrier to supply chain visibility," said Guhan Periasamy, Kewill's Vice President for Asia Pacific and Japan. "The Kewill Logistics mobile applications extend the reach of the logistics operation to third party transport providers by allowing them to connect without having to be on the LSP's networks and systems or investing in additional hardware."

"We are pleased to be working with Kewill, a global leader in the multimodal transportation space to expand our TMS footprint in China," said Gabriel Ko, Managing Director of CarreierWeb of the collaboration. "The value proposition that both vendors bring to customers is definitely stronger and customers attending our Logistics Forum in Shanghai this October can expect to be delighted with the content line-up that features mobility and data management solutions."

Focused on LSPs, FMCG and retail manufacturers, The Logistics Forum, which is co-organized by Kewill and CarrierWeb, will take place on 29th and 30th October. The half-day forum will look at how companies can achieve supply chain efficiencies and profitability through three  key pillars: automation, visibility and mobility.
