Beacon overview

What is Beacon?

Beacon’s supply chain visibility platform equips supply chain and logistics teams with real-time transportation tracking, analysis, planning and collaboration tools that help them take greater control of their supply chains.

From tracking ocean and air freight to analyzing carrier performance, emissions reporting and route planning, Beacon helps organizations gain a single view of their goods, manage risk and reduce the total cost of their supply chain operations.

All you need to get started is a container number or an air waybill. Beacon can easily integrate with ERP systems to port this information into the platform automatically. Tracking data and analytics are made available to users in Beacon's user friendly dashboard or can be fed into existing systems via API.
