It said it is also scalable and be integrated into a number of third-party systems.

Designed for industries such as food and beverage, manufacturing, warehousing, freight and transport and any company involved in the shipping of products, the software also incorporates advanced shipping notification (ASN) guidelines, which are particularly specified by large retailers to ensure products arrive in the correct quantities at the correct destination.
