Challenge
In 2002, the logistics industry was changing and like most of the world at that time
documentation was moving to electronic formats. The key to a successful forwarding
operation was speed and accuracy regarding documentation. INTTRA offered Mallory
Alexander a collective approach to the carriers in standardizing transmission of data for
bill of lading masters and release. With leading carriers such as Maersk, Hapag Lloyd
and MSC already on-board with INTTRA, the benefits were clear. Mallory Alexander
became one of the first freight forwarders to champion EDI submission and release of
documents through INTTRA. Mallory also worked with INTTRA to lead the exporting
industry in on-line bookings and tracking of carrier status information.
INTTRA Solution
In order to meet industry demands and compliance regulations, Mallory Alexander turned
to INTTRA to provide an efficient and accurate electronic data submission and document
release program that leveraged the INTTRA carrier network. The INTTRA solution offered
Mallory a comprehensive approach to a multitude of carriers and provided efficiency,
speed and accuracy to Mallory's documentation process. INTTRA's global customer service
team, industry expertise and platform offered an end-to-end solution and set of resources
to Mallory. INTTRA and Mallory have worked closely to push forward increased efficiencies
in the tracking of qualified bookings throughout the shipping documentation process from
the onset until completion of the final bill of lading.
Over the course of 12 months, Mallory Alexander worked with INTTRA to roll out its
e-commerce solution across its global offices and to evangelize the pressing need for
shippers and freight forwarders to adopt e-documentation in order to meet industry
compliance regulations and to maintain proper shipping records.
Value Created
Six years later, INTTRA is now deployed across all 19 global offices for Mallory
Alexander. The two companies continue to collaborate, providing an industry voice
to the needs of reporting and maintaining accurate e-documentation. Through this
partnership, Mallory Alexander has benefited internally from the accurate and
immediate reporting that e-commerce solutions provide.
