“The Logistics Orchestration® platform by Slync.io provides WACO members with the option to access an automated processes system that can identify and resolve exceptions through a simple interface that adapts to member needs, regardless of their current digital capabilities,” it said in a statement.

WACO member organisations that engage with Slync.io will be able to standardise complex, multi-party processes and easily integrate structured and unstructured data.

“Slync.io offers our community of independent freight management companies a cost-effective, scalable solution for their data management needs,” said WACO's CEO, Richard Charles.

Slync.io enables previously unrelated systems to work together using a common set of data, paving the way for streamlined process management, improved transparency, and greater collaboration in logistics operations.

“Slync.io is excited to serve the global members of The WACO System,” said  Slync.io's executive vice-president and chief revenue officer, Paul Pessutti.

“Tapping into WACO’s exclusive logistics network will enable us to expand the reach of our Logistics Orchestration® platform, helping top freight managers across all modes and geographies simplify their operations through better connected people, systems, and data - it's a win-win.”
