NavisConnect has been a key component of Navis Logistics Network's strategy to launch and grow the Navis Pack and Ship franchise business model. Steve Arends led the entire business analysis, design, development and rollout of theis powerful eCommerce Web Portal.
NavisConnect ™ is Navis Logistics Network’s proprietary web portal architecture for enabling efficient eCommerce communications and transactions among customers, partners and franchisees.
Another key differentiator is NavisConnect's ability to work seamlessly with other powerful “best-of-breed” web portals. These include http://www.salesforce.com/, http://www.intacct.com/, and Navis' licensed version of http://www.freightquote.com/, known as Navis Freight Manager.
