Supply chain visibility provider Vizion announced Tuesday it has released a new product to provide customers with live tracking and risk management capabilities. The new tool, TradeView, is made available through a partnership between the company and Dun Bradstreet, which will be providing its own supply chain data to be leveraged with Vizion’s global shipment data.“Our industry needs ESG [environmental, social and governance] transparency mapped across supplier networks and product value chains. TradeView breaks new ground in addressing these needs through unprecedented live monitoring and access to novel datasets. Vizion, in collaboration with Dun Bradstreet, is excited to bring a truly differentiated solution to market,” said Vizion CEO Kyle Henderson in the release. According to Vizion, the tool is designed to help supply chain actors from a wide array of sectors, including port and terminal operators, logistics providers, drayage companies, railroads, and retail providers, make better business decisions. Through the collaboration with Dun Bradstreet, the tool empowers government workers, commodity traders and individuals in capital markets to enhance their economic forecasting capabilities.Vizion’s last solutions release was its Intermodal Rail Tracking in June.

Supply chain visibility solutions provider Vizion on Wednesday launched its latest feature, Intermodal Rail Tracking, a supportive tool for the company’s fundamental container tracking product.With the aim of providing full supply chain transparency, often overlooked is the movement of containers from vessels to their inland destinations. The new feature will give shippers and logistics service providers insight into events, including last free dates and available pickup dates, to avoid access charges.All Class I railways of North America — Union Pacific, Canadian Pacific Kansas City, BNSF, CSX, Norfolk Southern and CN — are participating in the solution.“End-to-end supply chain visibility is an elusive goal for all shippers and logistics service providers. With rail tracking now complementing our existing ocean tracking solution, Vizion users can draw closer to that goal in a way that is seamless and easy to integrate,” said Kyle Henderson, Vizion co-founder and chief executive officer, in the news release.The tracking solution also offers a unique feature that allows Vizion users to receive all tracking updates for all containers across both ocean and rail with a single letter of authorization. The traditional process asks all those not listed on a waybill to provide letters for each container to be tracked.Once that single letter of authorization has been placed with each mode’s provider, Vizion’s Intermodal Rail Tracking tool will push events to shippers and logistics providers’ internal transportation management systems, giving instant visibility. Systems available for the integration include SAP, Oracle, Descartes and Magaya. Vizion executives will be showcasing the application programming interfaces and other solutions Wednesday at FreightWaves’ Future of Supply Chain event in Cleveland.
