Friday, October 26, 2012 U.S. Shippers Association launches GT Nexus cloud for logisticsThe U.S. Shippers Association recently launched its GT Nexus cloud supply chain platform, automating global logistics management for its member companies. The technology automates the freight life cycle for USSA, according to a GT Nexus statement. USSA pools the expertise of member companies to optimize logistics solutions for exporting containerized goods for about 50,000 TEUs per year, according to GT Nexus. "While USSA consolidates purchasing to gain buying leverage for all members, each company operates independently using the negotiated rates," said Beverly Altimore, Executive Director at USSA. "GT Nexus is designed to support this complex combination of centralized purchasing and decentralized daily operations that are scattered around the world." The GT Nexus cloud supply chain platform connects business applications to an integrated network of importers, exporters, carriers, 3PLs and banks.
