The coronavirus pandemic has created more demand for technologies to remove paper documents from freight transactions and to minimize supply chain disruptions by increasing shipment visibility.

Over the past week, several companies have added new products and features that can more fully digitize transactions between shippers, logistics service providers (LSPs) and carriers.

No-touch documents

Command Alkon partnered with Infotech to offer a free e-Ticketing network for any type of company that makes deliveries to construction job sites. The network makes workers safer with touchless ticket interactions

The network combines Command Alkon’s Connex platform with Infotech’s Doc Express service to remove the need for face-to-face interactions and ticket exchanges between suppliers and contractors at the jobsite.

EBE Technologies developed a new artificial intelligence (AI) engine for process and content management called the Navigator.

The Navigator allows sharing of documents and data across the enterprise to automate repetitive tasks, and reviews transactions to determine if they are within standards and can be completed.
