The legacy system could process only a limited amount of transactions per day. BridgePoint determined that its next generation offering needed to meet new market requirements, and it sought to incorporate existing products, such as iPlanet ECXpert, instead of building everything in-house. After a rigorous review process, BridgePoint selected ECXpert. Integration capabilities allowed the team to leverage their existing systems and reduce the time it took to bring the new solution online. We receive and translate data from multiple platforms, applications, and formats into a single source of information that all customers and their trading partners can easily use.
Shippers can also view their shipments across transportation modes with their trading partners.
BridgePoint's unique supply chain process applies business rules to the data using object-oriented middleware. With an object model we can customize our solution at the object layer versus dealing with the complexities of the database layer. The data is then posted to the respective customer database, which customers access through the Internet via any web browser. Ensuring high availability and reliability High availability and reliability are requirements of the BridgePoint system. This is particularly important to enterprises that need to measure data quality statistics.
