Welcome To Inbound - Connecting Logistics Communities
What is Inbound?
Inbound is a community of logistics facilities who use Inbound's web-based truck appointment system and in-vehicle mobile application to improve the service they can offer to vehicles arriving at their sites and to their clients. It connects facilities to their transport company users and clients to enable better information and visibility for any truck arrival at any facility.
The Power Of A Community
Today, logistics facilities handle arriving vehicles in lots of different ways. The Inbound community is powerful because it standardises truck arrival processes across the entire supply chain - for any facility, for any freight, in any place, at any time. One single way to service arriving trucks better and that's good for everyone.
