Shipment Information Management
Information is the first line of defense. Supply chain partners must begin to share information earlier in the logistics management process. It’s time to look outside your own four walls. Companies that facilitate supply chain visibility will aid in security efforts and also realize significant commercial benefit, including better equipment utilization, lower repositioning costs, more reliable transits, lower inventory, improved cash flow, greater sales and lower insurance premiums.
The most used form of electronic communication between supply chain participants today is electronic data interchange (EDI). EDI integration is common between major shippers and providers of logistics services. The accuracy of the information, however, is dependent on how well each partner collaborates. HSG is intimately familiar with the transportation EDI message set and currently operates some of the most advanced shipment information management systems worldwide.
Data Processing
HSG currently manages live feeds from shippers, ocean carriers, railroads and trucking companies covering the movement of containers throughout the supply chain. HSG’s data processing engine processes and cleanses a variety of data feeds from domestic and international partners in various formats, including Edifact, ANSI, XML, RFID and CSV. The infrastructure is used to receive and validate partner EDI feeds. Please contact us directly to learn more.
Translation
Translation tools are often necessary to convert messages into usable information. These tools are deployed to resolve data errors both with and without use intervention. HSG has developed comprehensive translation engines to standardize supply chain data.

HSG has developed a global data management system for receiving and organizing ocean carrier Baplie Manifest data. The HSG solution is mature and robust enabling automatic data normalization and greater focus on partner collaboration and shipment intelligence. The system offers the capability to capture cargo data from multiple ocean carriers before ships arrive in the United States.
