With over 25 years’ experience in the global shipping sector, Cargo Marketing recognises the value of investing in new technology to provide the most efficient, cost-effective services possible. With an information network that includes agents and depots in locations across the globe, the company identified Orchidnet PRO as the ideal tool to manage both corporate information and internal communications on a business-wide level.
