APL Logistics launches collaborative shipping solution ShipMax Alliance
APL Logistics, the go-to global supply chain specialist, today launched ShipMax Alliance – an easy-to-use collaborative shipping solution designed to save time and money by optimizing and managing high-frequency truck deliveries across increasingly complex supply chains, the company said in its press release.
Developed with APL Logistics’ world-class supply chain management expertise, ShipMax Alliance helps shippers – particularly in the consumer and retail industries – take advantage of collaborative logistics in a variety of ways, including:
Seamlessly pairing freight loads from compatible partners to common destinations;
Managing a steady stream of smaller deliveries to customers from multiple origins to common destination pairs – without incurring additional costs;
Saving time and money by automating processes to streamline routes, customize cargo combinations and optimize delivery schedules;
Requiring minimal training and low integration expenses to speed implementation;
Tracking metrics through detailed carrier performance reports and dashboards
ShipMax Alliance will initially launch in the Americas, with a planned roll out to other regions in early 2016.
