Visibility & Control

Get more visibility and control of your supply chain

When you start a management partnership with UTS, you continue to make the key supply chain decisions. Our role is to support you with expert tools, strategic services, and business intelligence.

Nothing enhances control like transparency. That’s why we give you full visibility of your shipment activity, including differentiators such as Active Shipment Management, which alerts you to transit issues sooner than any other approach.

Proactive Shipment Communication

Our operations team proactively traces every shipment. It may surprise you to learn this level of service is rare. Most providers rely on updates sent by carriers. This passive approach works fine until there is a transit issue. A shipment gets flagged once the carrier or client reports a problem. But by then, it is usually too late, and the focus becomes damage control.

Active Shipment Management detects issues sooner. In addition to processing updates from carriers, UTS proactively contacts carriers when milestones in the transit process do not occur on schedule. Our approach can uncover pickup and delivery issues as much as 24 hours faster.
