Software companies can build Open Connect Adapters to the Chain.io network, enabling a seamless flow of supply chain data including advanced shipment notices and milestones, CO2 emissions calculations, and more.

“We’re thrilled to introduce Open Connect, a game-changing feature that strengthens the flow of data between software providers and the global supply chain,” said Brian Glick, CEO of Chain.io. “With Open Connect, software companies can rapidly establish connections to our network, enabling deeper data integration with their customers and empowering efficiency, transparency, and growth.”
Data from third-party software providers is often manually entered across logistics systems, delaying the ability to provide value. With Open Connect, software providers can integrate their data directly to a TMS, ERP, or other platform, resulting in real-time operational efficiencies and better customer experiences.
