Fg supports inter modal transportation
FG stands for Freight Gateway, which is a digital platform that supports intermodal transportation by providing a seamless and efficient way to manage the movement of goods across different modes of transportation.
Intermodal transportation refers to the use of multiple modes of transportation, such as truck, rail, sea, and air, to move goods from one place to another. This type of transportation is becoming increasingly popular due to its ability to reduce costs, increase efficiency, and improve supply chain visibility.
Freight Gateway's intermodal transportation capabilities include:
- Multi-modal booking: Freight Gateway allows shippers to book their cargo across multiple modes of transportation, including truck, rail, sea, and air, through a single platform.
- Real-time tracking: Freight Gateway provides real-time tracking and monitoring of shipments across different modes of transportation, enabling shippers to track their cargo in real-time.
- Automated documentation: Freight Gateway automates the creation and exchange of documents, such as bills of lading and customs clearance, reducing the risk of errors and delays.
- Visibility and transparency: Freight Gateway provides shippers with real-time visibility into their shipments, including location, status, and any issues that may arise during transit.
- Integration with other systems: Freight Gateway integrates with other systems, such as transportation management systems (TMS) and enterprise resource planning (ERP) systems, to provide a seamless and efficient way to manage the movement of goods.
By supporting intermodal transportation, Freight Gateway helps shippers to:
- Reduce costs: Intermodal transportation can be more cost-effective than using a single mode of transportation, as it allows shippers to take advantage of the most efficient mode of transportation for each leg of the journey.
- Increase efficiency: Intermodal transportation can reduce transit times and increase the speed of delivery, as it allows shippers to use the most efficient mode of transportation for each leg of the journey.
- Improve supply chain visibility: Freight Gateway's real-time tracking and monitoring capabilities provide shippers with real-time visibility into their shipments, enabling them to track their cargo in real-time and respond quickly to any issues that may arise during transit.
- Enhance customer satisfaction: By providing real-time visibility into their shipments, Freight Gateway helps shippers to improve customer satisfaction by enabling them to track their cargo in real-time and provide accurate updates to their customers.
