WorldBridge Logistics implements CargoSphere rate platform



NVOCC WorldBridge Logistics, a subsidiary of V. Alexander & Co., has implemented the CargoSphere rate management platform and Rate Mesh network, according to a CargoSphere statement.

The platform allows WorldBridge to compare rates and transit times from their own carrier contracts and from agent partners.

"The CargoSphere Cloud-based Rate Mesh enables us to quickly and easily include contract rates from established agent partners in our comparisons," said Andreas Ritchie, director of procurement for V. Alexander & Company. "In the future, our hope is that eventually carriers will offer the option to upload contract amendments directly into CargoSphere. We'd also like to pursue Rate Mesh connections with our primary agents abroad for faster data exchange."

CargoSphere said the implementation also includes WorldBridge self-managing ocean carrier contracts and amendments with CargoSphere's smart upload and diagnostic solution and self-publishing FMC tariff rates.

"Technology levels the playing field enabling companies such as WorldBridge to deliver more timely, effective and accurate customer interactions and great operational controls to advance their business," said Neil Barni, president of CargoSphere. "We're extremely pleased to be working with WorldBridge Logistics and have them achieving 24/7 collaboration with their agent and neutral NVO partners in the Rate Mesh. This advancement allows them to differentiate the services they deliver."
