Benefits
ForwarderLogic is the first enterprise application for International Forwarding designed for the web and offered on a hosted basis. It has been in operation with strong regional, national and international forwarding companies since 2000.

Forwarders benefit from hosted solutions:
• Lower total cost of ownership– ForwaderLogic users benefit from sharing in   the hosting and development of the application’s evolution. New customers   pay a set- up fee representing a small fraction of the cost of development to   date. Upgrades to the base product occur between four and five times   annually at no additional cost.
• Minimal IT maintenance – Apart from a local network with internet access all   equipment is hosted by Oceanwide and managed by Oceanwide at its   hosting facilities in Miami and Montreal.
• Predictable IT costs - Because the user pays only for what they use, IT   costs are predictable per file and decrease as the volume grows.
• All in one application (Manage all modes in one application) – While most   software vendors provide mode functionality as distinct modules,   ForwarderLogic includes all modes, import, export, domestic and   consolidations. If your core business is Ocean export for example, you can   still accept Air and truck shipments for import, export or domestic with no   new set fees.
• Integration Services – A forwarder’s success is directly related to the   degree of integration that can be achieved with clients, agents and transport   partners. In house management of integration is challenging even for the   largest forwarding companies and are simply not an option for most   forwarders. Oceanwide has the largest integration infrastructure handling   any file exchange and translations through all communications protocols.
• Support - Oceanwide is the only software service for Forwarders that offers   around the clock support, which is critical to global operations.
