UPS enhances Flex Global View
UPS has upgraded its Flex Global View supply chain information tool for freight forwarding customers. UPS announced today (16 February) that the new enhancements include more descriptive alerts providing customers with shipment milestones about air, ocean and surface freight forwarding shipments.
Users will also benefit from new systems-driven logic to help ensure shipment updates are “more helpful and timely”.
Customers will have visibility to customs entries in over 20 countries added throughout 2016.
Flex Global View gives UPS customers end-to-end visibility into their supply chains by providing updates, access to digitized documents, and proactive alerts regarding their shipping activities. The system integrates data across shipments, customs entries, and purchase orders.
Other features in Flex Global View allow users to set email notifications for pre-determined events or milestones and create and save customized queries of supply chain records.
