Plan Overview
The Global Logistics Management Plan provides shippers and logistics service providers with a complete digital environment for managing their logistics operations — from initial freight estimation through to delivery tracking and performance reporting. The plan includes twelve integrated capabilities organised across five operational stages: planning and estimating, order and freight execution, tracking and exceptions, materials and inventory, and reporting and analytics. Each capability is designed to replace manual, email-based or fragmented processes with structured digital workflows.

Who It Is For
Organisations that manage the procurement, planning and execution of freight — whether across domestic or international supply chains. The Global Plan gives shippers a structured digital environment to estimate costs, manage orders, and maintain shipment visibility without relying on email or spreadsheets.
Freight forwarders, third party logistics operators and other service providers who manage shipments on behalf of shippers. The Global Plan provides the tools to receive, plan and execute logistics releases and maintain operational visibility across their client portfolios.
Problems It Solves
Digital order releases and structured booking workflows replace coordination by email, phone and spreadsheet.
One platform connects logistics teams, service providers and stakeholders — eliminating fragmented communication chains.
Continuous end-to-end tracking from origin to delivery, with events, milestones and exceptions all surfaced in one place.
Integrated planning, execution and tracking replace the workbooks that hold logistics operations together.
Digital RFQ and bid management workflows compress the tendering process and create a clear audit trail.
Receiving management and inventory tracking are connected directly to the shipment and materials workflow.
