Repatriate your company’s supply chain data with Bolster
The adage “a rising tide lifts all ships” would seem to apply to logistics domains better than others. However, when it comes to collaborating around disparate supply-chain data on behalf of Bolster’s customers, you’d be surprised by how zealously incumbent systems providers stamp out the potential for innovation through integration.
This is usually a death of a thousand cuts, where each additional plug-in, seat, and/or integration can not only cost an exorbitant sum but also lock the customer into the vendor system even further as they become more dependent on these clunky features/integrations lurking behind high touch sales and generalised “marketecture”.
Getting even the most basic “data connection” established with these companies can involve dozens of emails, several meetings, and tens of thousands of dollars.
At Bolster, our goal is to derive and convey maximum value from our customers’ supply chain data to their business. This includes functionality for working with foundational supply chain data streams like container movements, bulk cargo shipments, and/or rail services in order to make better decisions earlier. Supply Chain professionals literally level up their operational mental models overnight, and enterprises liberate data from cranky vendors, and fully leverage that data to improve the business without undertaking a multi-year multi-million dollar change program.
Tools like ChatGPT are changing the way we interact with data, and will drive expectations for a higher level of data system maturity, especially among critical enterprise data domains like increasingly globalised supply chains. In the near future, a divide will develop between those producers that have a coherent and modern data strategy, and those who don’t. At Bolster our goal is to help exporters rescue their valuable enterprise data assets from costly and apathetic international software providers.
The ticket to the party is as easy as a .csv export of booking references, and Bolster can start “backing up” your business.
