Trimble Introduces Visual Cargo Solution in India to Manage On-Road Supply Chain Logistics



Visual Cargo is a service-oriented architecture (SOA) based software solution that provides on-demand visibility—from loading to delivery location—of cargo vehicles using Trimble GPS devices. It is a single, common platform for supply chain stake holders, which include consigners, consignees, transporters and vehicle owners, to track and manage the movement of goods in transit.

"Our market research and customer feedback within the Asia Pacific markets indicates that shippers and manufacturers are in critical need of an integrated on-road visibility tool. Visual Cargo enables real-time visibility of their goods in transit to ensure on-time delivery, improve turnaround time and enhance safety compliance," said Ron Konezny, general manager of Trimble's Transport & Logistics Division.
