Commerce One.net is adding to its eLogistics offerings.
Marketplaces and applications such as those of 3Plex.com and Logistics.com are springing up across the logistics industry. Those that praise them recognize the efficiencies offered by their capability to match, manage and optimize transportation activities. Their principal drawback lies in their focus on short-term elements such as lowest price or greater speed to the detriment of establishing long-term relationships with partners in the supply chain. Long-term success will depend on developing a complete solution with strong links in the supply chain that will create customer loyalty.
Commerce One.net appears to be on its way to becoming such a solution. Introducing 3Plex.com into its B2B portfolio offers the application of the principal specialist in the online transport market for the trucking sector. Alongside this, Logistics.com’s Digital Transportation Marketplace solution, offering real-time online trading services for transportation procurement and management, enhances a global trading network that already includes financial platforms, web-centric technology applications and security solutions.
The ongoing affiliation of leading operators from all areas of eLogistics and eBusiness means that Commerce One.net’s coverage of the supply chain requirements is one of the most developed and comprehensive ones available in the market. If it can maintain good relationships with its suppliers it can look forward to a substantial clientele.
