The Data Pipeline links documents, field observations and facility profiles into complete and integrated shipment lifecycles. Once these information sources are integrated, the Data Pipeline goes a step further. By leveraging over 150 cumulative years of supply chain management expertise, the Data Pipeline can help make sense of erroneous, incomplete and sometimes conflicting documents. The Data Pipeline rationalizes and synchronizes data elements from these documents into a coherent and accurate description of the handling of each conveyance and its cargo. The Data Pipeline is compatible with a full range of transportation modes including air, rail, ocean, and truck.
