SHIELD TO SPEED DATA FILING AUTOMATION

SHIELD TO SPEED DATA FILING AUTOMATION    Log-Net, Inc., a provider of solutions for supply chain execution, has formed a trade group called “Shippers for International Electronic Logistics Data” (SHIELD).
   “SHIELD was established to promote e-commerce best practices that will support expedited trade practices through automation,” said John Motley, chief executive officer of Log-Net, based in Little Silver, N.J. “We want to eliminate cargo delays caused by the need to verify information and await manual data entry.”
   He said that SHIELD’s mission includes educating organizations regarding the need to communicate to their carriers to accept shipping instructions via formats such as electronic data interchange. “Doing so means enhanced accuracy, and potentially avoids high-risk customs screenings that can delay shipments up to ten days,” Motley said.
