Forte Data Solutions has introduced three new features to its integration platform FLOW. “These are initially targeted at customers being serviced by fellow Forte group division, Forte Transport Solutions, and integrate into and around the transport management systems that it implements for customers,” explained Bergh. “The features include FLOW connect, a cutting edge, cloudbased integration platform which, among other types, integrates transport management software to telematics software for client environments. It also offers FLOW visibility, a communications portal that latches onto existing applications and transfers data for a web-based internal dashboard or external client-facing portal view. Lastly and currently within user acceptance testing stage, is FLOW mobility, which is a last-mile dispatch application for drivers to receive orders and sign on glass.” Bergh said every company working on improving visibility and transparency in its supply chain was confronted by many sources of data at different stages of the supply chain. “Gathering such data requires an independent platform that connects, integrates and exchanges information – reliably and efficiently – regardless of device or data formats.” He said FLOW connect and FLOW visibility were currently deployed at transporters and retail clients alike. “The result has been a transparent supply chain where operators have become more proactive and spend less time capturing data.
