Increased demands on security and resilience are a challenge for the transport industry. ISL has been cooperating with its partners throughout the world for more than ten years in order to develop concepts and solutions for the reduction of risks of regional and global supply chains.
Supply Chain Visibility
Transparency is a basic demand when addressing monitoring and control of international intermodal container chains from the view of logistics and security. In order to manage globally increasing transport volumes, a sophisticated flow of information is necessary besides the flow of goods. ISL has considerable experience in these areas from various research projects carried out in close cooperation with well-known partners from the field of goods transport.

ISL provides support for transport operators in these areas based on its profound knowledge in risk management and vulnerability analysis.
