According to the developers, the release of Navisphere brings significant improvements to online tools for C.H. Robinson customers. The updates to Navisphere online access include a modernised user interface, streamlined access to business-critical data, and customisation to support customer requirements across global workflows.

The platform also allows customers to leverage C.H. Robinson's technology investments and gain access to a centralised network of more than 100,000 supply chain partners without the need to integrate with each provider individually.

By integrating with a shipper's ERP system, Navisphere automates workflows between transportation and business operations and provides visibility to global transportation across all modes. This gives customers greater control over their supply chain activities and accelerates proactive problem resolution.

"Navisphere allows companies of all sizes to take advantage of the latest technology architecture C.H. Robinson has to offer," said Tom Mahlke, chief information officer at C.H. Robinson. "Navisphere provides tools that are easy to use and intelligence that gives businesses the opportunity to follow through on their supply chain strategies."
