GT Nexus has built new capabilities into its application supporting road transportation. The new features, delivered as a cloud-based service over the Web, link with and extend the vendor's ocean and air spend-management services. The GT Nexus platform is now providing a central, secure, cloud-based repository for contract and rate information in support of ocean, air and truck transport. Users can access it through a standard Web browser, to retrieve and compare routes, rates and service metrics across carriers. In the process, GT Nexus said, shippers can automate procurement, optimization, contract management, visibility, execution and audit operations from a centralized point. GT Nexus's platform currently hosts more than 15,000 organizations, including retailers, manufacturers, logistics providers and banks.
