ShipServ is making waves! 12 new shipping companies have joined in the past three months as well as several suppliers while others have upgraded their solutions by integrating their sales order systems directly with our e-marketplace TradeNet.
At the end of 2006, we expect to reach an annual runrate of 1.8 mio. transactions at a trading value of $700 mio. So look out for more announcements on new TradeNet Members soon.
Yours sincerely,
