INTTRA Announce Alliance to Deliver Multi-Modal Logistics Services with Tradevision

Tradevision (www.tradevision.net), a global provider of EDI and communication services for air cargo management, and INTTRA (www.inttra.com), the leading provider of B2B ocean freight services, today announced an alliance that will enable Tradevision to enhance its air services portfolio by directly connecting with INTTRA's ocean transportation network infrastructure. INTTRA-LINK adds ocean freight capabilities to leading provider of air cargo services.

Tradevision's Logistics Management System, LogiMan, will soon provide the ability for freight forwarders to monitor shipments across air and water simultaneously. Today, LogiMan enables its network of logistics service providers to send and receive booking, track and trace, and other pertinent air cargo container messages.

Allan Harsbo, Senior Vice President of Tradevision said, "We are truly excited about our alliance with INTTRA. Adding sea freight to our services enables us to provide enhanced one-stop shopping options for our forwarding customers. While only about three percent of the world's cargo volumes are taken by air, ocean transport represents over 80 percent. Because of our alliance with INTTRA, Tradevision is now a truly multi-modal supplier. Regardless of transport mode, all shipments can now be automatically monitored."

Sponsored by a consortium of the world's leading carriers, INTTRA, established in April 2000, was founded to drive efficiencies into the ocean transportation industry by streamlining and standardizing traditionally inefficient processes. INTTRA enables shippers, freight forwarders, third party logistics providers, brokers, importers and industry portals to manage the booking and tracking of cargo across multiple shipping lines in a single integrated process.
