INTTRA has reached a partnership agreement with JDA Software Group Inc. which will enable access for JDA’s customers to INTTRA’s digital platform of shipping software, data and services.

“The robust functionality of JDA Transportation Management software allows customers to control costs, streamline productivity and maximize efficiencies,” said Inna Kuznetsova, president of INTTRA Marketplace. “Those same objectives are at the heart of INTTRA’s service offering. We are pleased that JDA’s customers now have powerful tools to navigate the ocean-shipping portion of the supply chain, adding functionality without complexity.”

According to INTTRA, its container volume grew 12% in 2015 and its overall share of container volume has increased from 22% in 2014 to 24% in recent months.

Fabrizio Brasca, vice president of solution strategy and intelligent fulfilment at JDA, said that INTTRA has long been a trusted name in the shipping industry.

“We are confident that INTTRA’s streamlined transaction platform will enable our customers to achieve operational efficiency at all stages of the ocean-shipment-management process,” he said. “Given that 90% of everything we buy is transported by ocean, it’s important that we can extend our transportation management capabilities to INTTRA’s platform to bolster our ocean-shipping capabilities exponentially.”

JDA provides supply chain and retail solutions to more than 4,000 customers across the world.
