MELCO introduces new shipment tracking service

Melco Group International Inc., a provider of software for the forwarding industry, said it has implemented a new service called OasisEtrack, allowing real-time shipment access by OASIS clients.

OASIS, which stands for Ocean Air Shipping Information System, has been used since 1988 by forwarders, ocean freight consolidators and exporting departments of large exporters.

OasisEtrack, which includes secure encryption, has been under development for 18 months.

"This represents a quantum leap over other systems which require cutting and pasting and then uploading to a remote centralized server of data for access at a future time," said Erwin Melzer, Melco's president and chief executive.

The company's client include Rohde & Liesenfeld USA, Merzario USA, AAA Cooper Transportation, Landstar Express America Inc., Aries Freight Systems and Cargill Inc.
