• We create a common foundation for business by uniquely

identifying, accurately capturing and automatically sharing vital

information about products, locations and assets

• We enable visibility through the exchange of authentic data

• We empower business to grow and to improve efficiency, safety,

security and sustainability

What the customer is saying…

Demand for end-end visibility and traceability

Customers’ appetite for real time, accurate information across

the entire supply chain;

Customers want their LSPs to have agile systems that are easy

to integrate to – they don’t want to be “locked in”

Open Standards – criteria for LSP tenders

We have a changing landscape

• Everyone says they can offer visibility – just use our new portal

• Problem is everyone has a new portal and every portal is providing

data in a different format

• We need visibility across portals in real time

• We need data standards to enable interoperability and “connect”

these portals in a easy and cost effective way

Awareness of, and control over, specific information related to orders/physical shipments including transport activities and the status of events and milestones that occur prior to and in transit

Austroads Report - Key Findings

1. Confirmed that data standards are a necessary pre-curser to the

creation of visibility in supply chains;

2. Demonstrated benefits in terms of efficiency, integrity, visibility and

innovation;

3. Indicated enhanced capabilities for TLSPs through improved

planning, reduced turnaround times at PUD points & reduced DIFOT

failures

4. “Productivity penalty” across the T&L sector due to inability to

integrate is estimated at $1.63 Billion; cost to integrate to a

standard is est at $407million – an economic gain of $1.2Billion

5. The benefits to Australian industry justifies an industry based

supply chain visibility strategy to promulgate adoption
