Cross Chain Control Center (4C)

One of the last unexplored areas in Supply Chains is overlaying the flows of goods from different shippers and dispatch them as a single flow including the financial settlement.

In order to achieve savings made from combining these supply chains, and then assign it to the collaborating shippers, a Cross Chain Control Center (4C) is a must.

Key to this concept is the complete neutrality of the control tower with respect to data from shippers and the transparent way of finance and information flows of carriers. IDS manages and settles such information flows as a trusted third party orchestrator. As a Logistics Control Tower IDS uses a state of the art Transport Management System (TMS) to manage and control several supply chains together. Shippers get a greater visibility and more control not only over their own supply chains, but can also see their benefit of financial consolidation within the horizontal collaboration with other shippers.

The experienced supply chain engineers of IDS coordinate make the processes of its shippers key and will coordinate your shipments by making use of the advanced software tools. They will make your supply chain costs and performance visible and identify optimization opportunities.
