E2open Teams With PayCargo to Drive Freight Payments

Supply chain management platform E2open is teaming up with global logistics payment firm PayCargo to make the freight payment process faster and easier for carriers, forwarders and shippers, according to a press release on Friday (Jan. 28).

E2open’s embedded payment processes will use PayCargo’s solution to move cargo from ports faster. The process will eliminate the labor-intensive and time-wasting system of printing, mailing, issuing paper checks and doing wire transfers.

The capabilities of both companies together will provide shippers, forwarders and carriers with an efficient system for booking, confirming, tracking, settling and releasing cargo, which in turn will move merchandise seamlessly from origin to destination.
