done
it that way." Well, at Logistics+, we are not limited
by paradigms. Our experienced team takes
pride in our "outside the box" thinking. Find out what Logistics+ has been doing with this philosophy recently:

Logistics+ Adopts Global Tracking System
Logistics+ has added the GTS, Global Tracking System, a web-based tracking tool. GTS allows Logistics+, as well as its customers, to monitor the status of a shipment at every step from suppliers around the world to the final delivery. Now our customers can monitor the status of their shipments from their own computers, anywhere in the world with a click of the mouse. GTS can also automatically notify you when the status of a particular shipment has changed or when there is a delay. GTS now links Logistics+, its customers, their facilities around the world, freight forwarders, suppliers, etc. into one real time tracking program.
"GTS in an exciting addition to the arsenal of tools we have to support our customers. Now they can track their shipments in real time, the same way we are able to. The information that they need is always at their fingertips. Plus they will be constantly be updated as the status of their shipment changes, so that they will know the moment it arrives to its final delivery point," explains Jim Berlin, CEO of Logisitcs+.
GTS is searchable by a variety of inputs including airway bill number, container number, part number, pick-up date, supplier, etc. So now, no matter how much or how little information you have, you can easily find your shipment. Now regardless of where you are or what time of day it is, you can constantly know the status of your shipment and be better informed in the decisions you need to make.
