Carriers

E-commerce has moved into the mainstream of doing business for carriers and their customers. Some carriers now depend on e-commerce for more than 50 percent of their total container volume. Others see smaller percentages but have rapid growth. Shippers that were early adopters now rely on e-commerce to process as much as 95% of their total ocean container volume.

At INTTRA we help accelerate the adoption of e-commerce by providing highly accessible solutions to streamline and standardize business processes and one simple connection to a network of thousands of customers trained in the use of e-commerce tools. 

INTTRA provides Ocean carriers with one simple connection to INTTRA’s e-commerce platform. Customers can choose any of INTTRA’s e-tools and any combination of channel solution to connect to the platform. The result is carriers receive a standardized stream of transactions that increases e-commerce efficiency.
