Realistic rolling forecasts and fine-tuned capacity management
In global logistics, capacity management is key to the on-time fulfillment of customer requirements. e-llis, therefore, creates realistic rolling forecasts for all service providers, monitoring them to ensure that they are in line with the contracted capacity. This allows us to detect volume deviations before they actually impact operations. At the same time, our team cooperates closely with all contracted operators to fine-tune medium and short-term capacity fluctuations, with the single goal of fulfilling your shipping needs.
Extended origin support for immediate action
Whether you face a shipping delay from a vendor, an equipment shortage at the port, or an allocation issue on the carrier side, our local e-llis Ocean Freight team will intervene with all parties in their local market and time-zone.
A control tower for reliable, real-time visibility and insight
Reliable, real-time insight is essential to the booking and transport execution process – it ensures that everybody has the same information at all times. Our central control tower provides the visibility needed to perform these activities and is available to all of our customers as you follow up on order and shipment progress.
