Complete chain-of-custody profiles are a cornerstone of the FreightDesk Cargo Security solution. For each shipment, a comprehensive data profile is created that enables parties to track both the container, as well as its contents, from order creation to final destination. Each profile contains key information including country of origin, milestones for each leg of the journey, and the identity of organizations and individuals that have been involved in the shipment’s manufacture, handling, and transport. Role-based visibility, as well as interrogation and updating capabilities are provided to all authorized parties. The specialized data architecture of the FreightDesk solution for the first time allows government and commercial freight managers to capture the data from non-linear events and the full range of sources involved in a trade transaction – and then to instantiate, interpret, and order these events not only for an individual shipment…but against the environment in which the shipment moves. Upon shipment creation, the FreightDesk Logistics Control Platform generates a target chain-of-custody profile for each shipment. Product classifications are validated, supply chain trading partners are checked against security data bases, and journey milestones are established. Customer-unique business rules define roles for each participant in the target transaction, provide support for cross-organization business processes, establish timelines and tolerance for the collection of milestone data, and specify regulatory compliance deliverables. Commercial enterprises experience this technology as an increase in supply chain visibility and security. Governments see it as a means of creating security and transparency into the supply chains moving through their countries. Both visibility and transparency into all transactions are granted via the Logistics Control Platform that contains a universal data repository, communication protocols, and proprietary algorithms that collect, rationalize, and integrate data from buyers, sellers, carriers, service providers, and other members of the global supply chain. As the cargo progresses according to the target profile, trade and transportation data is collected from numerous systems, interpreted according to specifically tailored business rules, and organized relative to the chain-of-custody profile. The FreightDesk Logistics Control Platform readily integrates applications, message formats (EDI, XML), and devices (RFID, e-seal) from disparate systems and technologies. Delivering benefits to the public sector:
Expanding Cargo Security Solutions to New Markets… In addition to its close ties to U.S. policy makers, FreightDesk is also working with foreign governments and international organizations to facilitate trade with the U.S. while ensuring compliance with new security initiatives. This includes the integration of current systems with new technology solutions to create seamless views of international freight movements. An active participant in international forums, FreightDesk recently co-sponsored the United Nations Trade Facilitation Conference in Geneva and works with developing countries to address their import/export issues. Working in cooperation with funding agencies including the World Bank, FDT is actively engaged in security and trade facilitation within the international community.
