In a statement, Chain.io said the integration would expand the ability of freight forwarders, shippers, brokers, and carriers to unlock cost efficiencies, improve quality processes, optimize security, and ensure data quality.
Commenting on the announcement, Brian Glick, founder and CEO of Chain.io, said:
“Resiliency of your supply chain relies heavily on the quality of data that you receive from your systems, which can be turned into actionable business insights. Forwarders and shippers that have the most diverse and clean data will regularly provide more value to their customers and their own bottom line. By integrating Overhaul into our connective network, our customers now have another way to turn data into forward-thinking business decisions.”
As a result of the integration logistics service providers will be able to use Chain.io’s backend connective network to create shipments in Overhaul’s system. This, it is said, shall improve the quality and integrity of data, thus securing forwarding operations from disruptive events.
Barry Conlon, CEO of Overhaul, added:
“Our ability to provide course-correction to all partners along the global supply chain affords peace of mind, creates measurable efficiencies, and develops stronger relationships that build a robust safety culture. Through our integration into Chain.io, we can extend our birds-eye-view of your supply chain to more logistics companies, bringing innovative technology to combat the data visibility and security solutions that plague millions.”
