Quick, efficient, useful - just like you
In the increasingly global freight business, the aim is seamless service.We’re not quite there yet.
Aside from left-field issues such as the sudden escalation of security issues due to terrorism, patching together the operations and systems from each mode, and even within modes, is a difficult task.
Progress has been made. Increasingly sophisticated IT and management systems promise more seamlessness to improve service and cut costs.
Intermodal is designed as a fast, relevant, easy to access information tool for busy managers in the freight sector of all modes — and the terminals and ports which handle and store across the modes.
We didn’t bother with slow paper trails or bi-monthly timeframes.
Too much is happening in Intermodal for 20th century templates.
Intermodal is sent electronically each second Thursday evening to you.
On average 3000 intermodal managers read it each fortnight for an average five minutes — so it is a quick update on a major issue, some editorial comment and feedback to keep stirring the debate, and links to a number of the major issues in each mode and across the modes happening that fortnight.
Quick, seamless, useful — just like any intermodal service should be.
Intermodal: connecting the modes
Intermodalism underpins supply chain activity and influences transport and logistics business movement. The importance of a well connected, multi-modal transport network over road, rail, air and sea is vital to the Australian economy.
Publishing Services Australia is connecting the modes with the launch of its online magazine, dedicated to the intermodal industry.
Intermodal: the new online portal for road, rail, air and sea, will keep you in the know and on track.
With deep reaching analysis of intermodal issues, and insight from leading industry players delivered direct to your email fortnightly, Intermodal is the one-stop-shop for news and views on the freight network.
Intermodal Editor Jason Whittaker says the new publication will build on PSA's unparalleled reputation for delivering targeted, relevant information to the transport and logistics sectors. PSA also publishes Australia's leading industry publications ATN and SupplyChain Review.
"There are a number mode-specific publications available in the transport and logistics space," he says. "We're covering the big picture.
"Transport is no longer mode-specific. In an increasingly interconnected freight network, movers of freight need to know what's going on from hub to hub."
