Convoy, a leading American digital freight network, has announced the debut of 'Hi-Fi Visibility,' a new system designed to offer shippers in-depth insights into their freight via real-time updates.
More specifically, Hi-Fi Visibility will utilize Convoy-connected carriers to provide shippers with ongoing updates about both their shipments and trailer pools as well analytics data regarding their supply chain health. The new IoT-based solution will be accessible to users through APIs, TMS integrations, and COnvoy's own shipping platform.
"Creating a new class of visibility requires surfacing actionable insights from a complex data set that changes by the minute," said Dorothy Li, CTO of Convoy. "Not only do we collect more data than other freight providers, we go one step further by distilling that data into interactive dashboards that surface anomalies shippers can act on to save time and money.
