Virtually update and manage remote office data from a central site

IFPro-Integrator™ provides you the means to bring distributed logistics operations under control. A lot of leading supply chain companies, including carriers, freight forwarders and 3PLs, have offices/operations in far flung or remote areas. Controlling and integrating data from these offices is a very time consuming and expensive process. Not only the management is affected or slowed but also the visibility of operations and finances are delayed.

It provides you the means to solve these problems instantly by eliminating the time-consuming accounting tasks and allows the HO to manage the remote offices virtually and remotely. It also allows you to update one central financial database periodically and cost effectively though the internet.

Provides you the visibility of the financial and business status of your remote offices as and when you want. IFPro-Integrator™ builds upon IFPro-OLAi™ and needs no costly or time consuming installation /implementation process.
