(EMAILWIRE.COM, October 27, 2004 ) Huntington Beach, Ca. - Freightgate(R), a leader in providing technology solutions for in transit inventory visibility, contract and rate management, shipment scheduling and supply chain optimization tools for global shippers today announced the enhancement to its Schedule-Trek!(tm) decision support product, the industry's most advanced solution for air and ocean cargo routing and scheduling challenges.

The inclusion into Schedule-Trek!(tm) of virtually all ocean carriers' schedules allows customers to identify carrier and vessel for booking ocean freight with the click of their mouse. Now a customer can schedule his air freight, expedited trucking and ocean freight from one system to provide all global shipping options from one Internet based tool on one screen as well as allow integration into a Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) using the web-services APIs.

Freightgate(R) has integrated these new Schedule-Trek!(tm) features into their contract management and routing solution, Tariff-Trek!(tm) to allow customers to generate optimum cost/service routing options and to access actual carrier schedule information instantly.

"By including global ocean schedules from Schedule-Trek!(tm) into our integrated product offering, our customers can now utilize Tariff-Trek!(tm) to determine the best cost/service routing for their global shipments and determine the actual carrier availability with one click of their mouse. This provides our customers with unparalleled functionality in managing the ever increasing challenges of executing global shipments through the multitude of options to assure they are doing everything possible to meet service requirements", said Martin Hubert, President and CEO of Freightgate. "With these tools, our customers have real time schedule information for ocean, expedited trucking and airfreight with the ability to account for flight and airport delays with real time information on air shipments and actual carrier published schedules on ocean moves. This information is allowing users to make changes to keep abreast of the necessity to change carrier routings due to carriers making changes to their normal schedules as a result of the ever increasing delays caused by port congestion."
