• Drag and Drop Dashboards: LOG-NET breaks new ground in Version 7 with the ability of users to drag and drop the components on their screens to build their logistics and visibility solution to operate their way, in real time.  Layouts, color schemes, menu options, functions and fields can all be easily configured to meet the needs for users who are shippers, forwarders, carriers, importers or exporters.  This extensive re-engineering of the user interface also enables layouts that can be optimized for mobile or tablet based use with a simple click, drag or swipe.
• Business intelligence (BI) components are built into the LOG-NET 7.0 interface in a fashion that makes them easy to use and configure without the need to learn externally integrated tools.  Advanced users have the ability to leverage more extensive BI tools to leverage the rich volume of visibility information in the LOG-NET platform.
• Trade lane analytics capabilities continuous dynamic statistical analysis of trade lane performance occurs in LOG-NET 7 to forecast delivery times.  This feature includes sophisticated capabilities to optimize the impacts of weekends, holidays, terminal free time, inventory levels and equipment usage costs when determining the Expected Time of Arrival (ETA), and priority, of goods in transit.  LOG-NET 7's dynamic ETA management has been extended to include automated updating of shipment and order status based on updates from forwarders, carriers, analysts and distribution operators.  These same statistics can be used as the foundation for continuous improvement of all segments of the supply chain, from lead time management to trading partner performance.  LOG-NET 7 gives users a six sigma ready cloud logistics platform.
• Social compliance continues to be an added dimension of supply chain management, and LOG-NET 7.0 delivers more capabilities in this increasingly important area.  LOG-NET 7's new inspections and maintenance capability enables factory, product, and inventory inspections for quality; social compliance; and security initiatives.  Coupled with the new tablet compatible interface, LOG-NET 7.0 provides a whole new way for suppliers and their trading partners to innovate together in real time.   LOG-NET's carbon calculator provides the industry's most sophisticated engine for ongoing analysis of carbon footprints in multi-modal transportation.
