CALISTA IA can provide users with insights on route options, free trade agreements, import, export formalities and other value-added services. It can help to provide optimised freight options, based on budget, preferred timeline and modalities.
Users are also able to receive updates of cargo status and movement. CALISTA IA will recommend the best next steps to take in case of any unforeseen circumstances. With the options and recommendations, users can execute relevant actions to orchestrate their end-to-end supply chain.
