Industry Challenges

Complex Logistics Networks

Transportation companies must manage data exchange across multimodal transportation networks, involving numerous carriers, terminals, warehouses, and service providers, each with their own systems and data formats.

Regulatory Compliance

The industry must meet transportation safety, customs, international trade, and security regulations from agencies like TSA, DOT, and customs authorities, requiring extensive documentation and secure information exchange.

Supply Chain Visibility

Providing real-time tracking and status updates to partners and customers requires seamless data integration and secure information sharing across multiple systems and organizations.

Operational Efficiency

Minimizing delays and disruptions through timely data exchange is critical in an industry where timing and coordination directly impact service quality and customer satisfaction.

Compliance Requirements

The TSA requires transportation companies to implement security measures to protect against threats, including reporting significant security concerns, providing training to security-sensitive employees, and maintaining secure communication channels with partners. For companies operating across borders, compliance with customs regulations requires secure handling of shipping documents, manifests, and customs declarations.

Transportation companies must implement robust systems for managing partner credentials, secure document exchange, and maintain comprehensive audit trails of all transactions and communications. Non-compliance can result in severe penalties, operational disruptions, and reputational damage.

Backflipt's TransferIQ applications help transportation companies address these compliance needs by improving partner management efficiencies—onboarding partners in a timely manner, ensuring approvals are secure, verifying right security requirements like valid certificates are procured, and confirming the right file transformations like encryption are in place for information exchange. In addition, periodic automatic credential and certificate renewals with up-to-date contact information for partners make the partner management compliant with security needs, secure, and assure the information exchanges are always current and active with valid encryption certificates.

Transportation Partner Ecosystem
Transportation Partner Ecosystem

When transportation companies interact with their partner ecosystem, information exchanges must comply with industry security standards and regulatory requirements, including secure handling of shipping documents, manifests, and customs declarations.
Each of these partner relationships involves exchanging sensitive operational, cargo, and sometimes passenger information that must be protected under various industry regulations. TransferIQ applications help transportation companies manage these complex partner relationships while ensuring compliance, security, and operational efficiency.
By automating partner onboarding, credential management, file routing, and transfer monitoring, Backflipt solutions help transportation organizations maintain compliant information exchanges with all partners while reducing administrative overhead and minimizing the risk of delays and disruptions in the supply chain.
