Get Detailed Visibility Into Global Logistics

Globalization has paved the way for many organizations to unfurl their wings and glide into international markets. From capitalizing on global sourcing opportunities to taking advantage of private labeling strategies and tapping into surging businesses, having a global footprint is high priority for modern-day companies.

In this scenario, logistics providers are connecting businesses globally as they simplify the critical task of carrying out shipments across borders and oceans.

However, with new technology trends, growing global requirements, and changing regulatory laws, today’s global logistics are in constant flux. At this juncture, businesses that hope to plunge into new global markets must stay abreast of their industry leads while also understanding local, regional, and continental politics, business practices, and consumer trends. Unfortunately, many firms lack visibility into global rates, contracts, shipment activity, and approval changes in the supply chain process.

With more than two decades of expertise in delivering global, technology-based solutions, nVision Global is a towering figure in today’s logistics industry. nVision Global is committed to working with supply chain visionaries to develop solutions beyond the expectations of our customers and their partners.

nVision Global examines the needs of customers and their supply chain providers and collaborates with them to deliver powerful solutions that provide visibility and strong execution tools designed to address complex situations.

Fulfilling modern supply chain needs

The modern global supply chain requires an enterprise solution with a suite of tools that are powerful enough to perform on-demand, dynamic global rating and routing queries. The ideal solution should not only optimize cost and service options, but also provide complex scenario modeling.

Additionally, it should deliver end-to-end connectivity with enterprise resource planning (ERP) systems and integrate global procurement activities.

nVision Global’s iMpactTMS™ is a robust, closed-loop solution with a unique Contract Management tool that provides the foundation for these capabilities in a streamlined workflow. With this solution, supply chain and logistics managers have the control and visibility they need to optimize their investments.

nVision Global provides a workflow-based approach to the entry and maintenance of various modes of Transportation Provider contractual agreements, organizing current, as well as historical, supplier agreements for comparative analysis through its centralized Global Contract Repository.

The Global Contract Repository is a critical engine that connects the customers’ supply chain stakeholders with the ability to perform on-demand Rating and Routing queries. It helps customers to determine the least-cost Transportation Provider for a given lane or individual shipment activity, along with the best service options.

Coupled with the power of our comprehensive Modeling and Optimization solutions, Supply Chain and Logistics Managers can perform complex “what-if” scenario modeling, benchmark analysis, and detailed comparative analysis of supplier contracts. The nVision Global iMpact™ modeling tool has over 300 predefined analytical queries designed to deliver comprehensive analysis of day-to-day shipment activity.

Solutions tailored to make the best fit

nVision Global’s solutions are engineered with a core principle in mind: to remain compliant with the clients’ existing frameworks. This principle enables nVision Global to receive client data for rating or analysis purposes and supports detailed export capabilities that provide essential data back to the client’s systems for downstream supporting processes.

Perhaps most important, Global Transportation Management Solutions must be able to communicate with existing client ERP systems to provide the most value and organizational benefit.

nVision Global professionals recognize that there is no such thing as a one-size-fits-all solution and that a client’s business often requires a customized approach. Through professional project management, custom development, testing, and integration, nVision Global works with clients at every step to create a solution tailored to their needs.

The company offers prompt and accurate freight audit and payment solutions to customers to help them maximize efficiencies. For example, a customer approached nVision Global to efficiently address concerns relating to lack of control for expedited freight shipping. nVision Global offered tools that can help carry out a number of processes, such as rating, routing, tendering, and visibility, from creation of orders to final delivery. After effective utilization of tools, the customer significantly reduced annual freight spend in a span of nine months.

Procure right transportation, right time, right price

nVision Global offers an online global solution for transport and logistics management, iProcurement™, which provides a full-scale freight tender platform for supporting all modes of transportation. It is an online solution that can work in conjunction with the nVision Global freight invoice database.

The iProcurement solution is designed to handle global tenders, regional or individual lanes, and individual shipments. Additionally, nVision Global provides an online event management module, iVisibility™, which delivers a window to view current and historical shipment tracking information through Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) updates.

This solution is a real-time visibility portal and is part of our TMS Orders Module. iVisibility™ provides actionable visibility into inbound and outbound transport activity, bills of lading, purchase orders, tendered shipments, and shipments that remain in the warehouse.

The nVision Global Orders Module has features for purchase order validation, exception, or expedited freight management with least-cost routing, auctioning, and tendering, in addition to offering multiple communication methods to update the status of shipments electronically or via manual data entry.

The road ahead

nVision Global delivers a truly global solution in conjunction with its operations and development support centers around the globe. This combination of global locations and the scalability and customizability of nVision Global solutions gives nVision Global a competitive edge. nVision Global believes in investing heavily in human resources in order to understand customers’ challenges and delivers the most beneficial solutions to untangle complexities while developing capabilities.

Taking positive strides toward achieving its goals, nVision Global is looking forward to adding more locations to its current Asia and South America coverage. As for technology, starting in December 2015 and over the next six months, nVision Global will be releasing several new tools to enhance its processes, procedures, and technology.
