The Global Need for Smarter Shipment Tracking

In 2025, the global shipping industry continues to serve as the backbone of international trade, with more than 90% of global commerce transported by sea. As the market approaches a projected value of $4.2 trillion by 2031 (Allied Market Research), the logistics sector is under growing pressure to deliver accuracy, transparency, and speed across every link of the supply chain.

Ecommerce, multi-modal delivery networks, and rising customer expectations have increased demand for real-time shipment visibility. For small to mid-sized logistics providers, staying competitive means adopting the digital tools that large-scale shippers have relied on for years.

What Is Log:Nett EDI?

Log:Nett EDI, developed by Locus Solutions (a division of Enghouse Transportation), is a modular EDI platform built for logistics providers seeking to digitize their shipment management processes. It delivers a single view of shipment status, integrates with ERP and warehouse systems, and provides full electronic data exchange across your carrier and customer networks. Designed for today’s hybrid and multi-cloud environments, it ensures access to critical data at any time, from anywhere.

Why EDI Matters in 2025

Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) allows businesses to send structured information such as order confirmations, shipping updates, and invoices directly between systems. Instead of relying on paper or manual entry, EDI reduces errors, shortens response times, and accelerates the entire logistics cycle. As 89% of businesses use multi-cloud strategies and 80% operate hybrid cloud environments, solutions like Log:Nett EDI meet IT expectations while improving operational agility.

Real-Time Visibility in Logistics

Today’s transport and logistics providers need more than basic tracking. With Log:Nett EDI, users gain real-time updates directly in their order baskets — from parcel-level detail to full shipment summaries.

Cost Control Through Digital Workflows

Manual processes are expensive and error prone. By automating pricing, notifications, and invoice verification, Log:Nett EDI allows companies to reduce operating costs, minimize manual touchpoints, and maintain complete visibility across their transportation ecosystem.
