ABSTRACT:
The present invention provides a method for tracking material being transferred from a source to a destination by a carrier which comprises the steps of receiving a transmission from the source, the transmission being indicative of characteristics of the material. Also, a second transmission indicative of characteristics of the carrier is received. The carrier information is then associated with the supplier information. In another aspect, this information is used to estimate times for arrival of shipments, generate alarms for late arrivals and measure performance of suppliers and carriers.
