E-commerce solutions

At a time when many logistics service providers are downsizing their businesses, e-global Logistics Network (eGLN) says it is launching e-commerce driven solutions to help reduce costs, boost revenues and improve sales effectiveness enabling eGLN members, partners and customers to develop new opportunities during the global downturn.

“In these tough times it is critical to find innovative ways to boost sales, reduce costs and leverage the partner community to add profits to the bottom line. More and more customers insist their supply chain partners provide scalable web based services. e-global Logistics Network is being launched to provide SME logistics companies the opportunity to immediately improve their competitiveness in this challenging market,” said Steve Russell, President of eGLN.

“The downturn provides us with a fantastic opportunity. Smaller logistics companies are able to adapt more rapidly to changes in the marketplace. The Chinese have a saying that “small boats are easier to turn” and our strategy is to offer our e-commerce solutions to our SME members and partners to build at low cost a global network to provide technology enabled business processes to their customers.”

Russell, former President and CEO- Asia Pacific of Salesforce.com and EVP of Global Sales at EGL is a pioneer in delivering market leading supply chain solutions to worldwide customers and more recently responsible for advancing Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) “cloud computing” across Asia Pacific.

He has 25 years experience in international multi-modal transport, logistics, software and supply chain management industries. He has focused on sales and marketing, customer success, strategic account development, CRM, low cost web and mobile applications and “go to market” strategies.
