The international trade and supply chain management system has been developed independently by Cydiance. It integrates information sources from different parties to facilitate data positioning, status tracking and information sharing across all trade and transport partners.
The online platform is called Cydiance Book. It is easy to use and will be free of charge for all parties.
At present, the platform has been online for several weeks and it has been tested by a number of international fruit traders, producers and shippers in 45 countries globally. New users are added every day. Users are benefiting from this new supply chain management tool which is effectively promoting logistics information management and is especially useful for small and medium sized importers and exporters.
Logistics information and statistics, including carrier and merchandise tracking, temperature, humidity and location control, and import export related documents (including live photographs) can now be managed in a simple and convenient way. Various stakeholders in transit can enter different levels of information according to permissions granted and can easily browse and communicate.
Cydiance has vowed it will not charge for its billing, tracking and management services.
