inet-logistics at the transport logistic 2009

Mastering the increasing complexity of global transport processes with a collaborative IT platform

03/27/2009 inet-logistics will be manning Booth 615 in Hall B2, where they will be demonstrating how global transport processes can be optimised by the transparent integration of all supply chain partners into a collaborative IT platform. In response to current efforts to reduce costs and improve logistics processes over the long term, inet-logistics offers professional IT solutions as an SaaS package (Software as a Service) for sectors of the economy that are heavily dependent on transport. Using these solutions, it is possible to achieve significant savings in transport and freight costs.

Software as a Service: More than just hype

'Software as a Service' (SaaS) is a sales and distribution model whereby software is sold (or alternatively hired out) as a hosted solution. The fee payable comprises actual software usage and update services. An SaaS customer does not merely rent the software but also benefits from an infrastructure and application service. The innovative aspect of the SaaS model compared to ASP (Application Service Providing) or outsourcing is that the services on offer can be used by multiple customers. This helps to bring down costs for individual companies. At the same time, maximum security and confidentiality is maintained.
