INTTRA, the world's largest multi-carrier e-commerce network for ocean freight, and WCA Family of Logistic Networks have formed a strategic alliance that is intended to deliver critical ocean shipping planning, management and optimisation capabilities to WCA Family members.
Bangkok-based WCA Family is a global network of independent forwarders with 4,100 member offices located in more than 176 countries.
WCA Family can now access INTTRA's global network of over 30 major ocean carriers through the Worldwide Information Network (WIN), which is a cloud-based software platform for freight forwarders and one of the WCA Family's key technology platforms.
By integrating with INTTRA's multi-carrier network, WCA Family said in a statement that its members achieve: global standardised shipping processes, a faster and more streamlined document flow, improved data accuracy and increased visibility to ocean shipments. INTTRA delivers critical ocean freight transaction functionality that helps freight forwarders compete in today's competitive marketplace.
"We are pleased to offer our members the most advanced multi-carrier, ocean freight shipping solution via the INTTRA platform. WCA Family members will be able to reduce redundant manual processes, increase efficiencies, and improve customer satisfaction with standardised ocean freight processing. Additionally, members that manage import cargo will now have a fast and easy way to attain visibility data for their customers' import shipments by using INTTRA's standardised track and trace e-commerce tool," said WCA Family president David Yokeum.
Said INTTRA senior director Sanddep Govil: "We welcome the WCA Family to our alliance network of over 70 members and believe they will see significant benefits from a seamless connection to the INTTRA network of leading global ocean carriers and NVOCCs."
