Nextjet Technologies has launched a hosted version of its transportation optimisation and execution management system, Nextjet On-Demand. Users of this end-to-end transportation management system now need only an Internet connection to utilise the full set of transportation order booking, routing, tendering, event management and settlement functionality. Moreover, Nextjet has also packaged its extensive messaging network, Nextjet Connect, into the hosted service, enabling users to receive real-time updates on the status of their shipment via e-mail, Web or automated voice means. Transportation management systems represent one of the most active sectors of the supply chain management software market. A December 2002 Bear Stearns survey validated that transportation management system sales are outpacing those of other supply chain software sectors such as warehouse management and supply chain planning.
