Logistics management software: Kewill
Inc., a developer of multimodal transportation
and logistics management solutions, has
released Kewill Move, a software platform for
managing transportation, logistics, and trade
compliance.
Available in both on-premise and software-as-a-service (SaaS) deployment models, the
Kewill Move platform is used by logistics service providers, manufacturers, retailers, and
distributors. The platform helps companies
manage global, regional, and local logistics
shipments, including freight forwarding,
transportation, and warehousing. The software is designed for multimodal transportation, meaning that it can manage air, sea, rail,
and road requirements for full-load, less-than-truckload, pallet, and parcel deliveries on a
local, national, regional, or global scale.
Kewill Move can also help improve the efficiency of warehouse management and inventory management processes. The solution
provides a holistic view of the logistics network with end-to-end visibility across the
most critical supply chain execution processes. The software offers dashboards, key performance indicators (KPIs), and proactive
alerting and can integrate with critical trading partners.
By using the software, companies can see
potential supply issues and trade barriers and
better manage network volatility. The software also helps users manage customs and
trade compliance and stay informed of
changing trade regulations around the world.
