Service Package DiagramDescription
This service package supports a Supply Chain Portal which is accessable by the various goods movement actors and provides end-to-end visibility, and potentially control, throughout the entire supply chain. The Electronic Freight Management (EFM) initiatives in the U.S. are an example of a Supply Chain Portal. A Supply Chain Portal may be provided by a private sector entity or consortium (e.g. a 3rd Party Logistics Providers) or may be provided and/or supported by public sector agencies.
The separate Freight Administration (Carrier) service package focuses on systems and operations related to freight administration from the perspective of a commercial carrier. The coordination between commercial carrier and a Supply Chain Portal is illustrated in the Freight Administration (Coordination) service package.
