Exporters and importers in international trade need to know the status of their in-transit freight to utilize that information in subsequent logistics activities. However, in-transit freight information is not currently being provided in a timely manner. In this paper, I performed a case study of an enterprise with regard to the management of freight tracking. I analyzed the error rate of ETA (Estimated Time of Arrival) against ATA (Actual Time of Arrival) and analyzed the time gap between the time of real arrival and the time of data input. This paper reviews the reasons why in-transit freight information is inaccurate and not shared promptly. Among the reasons for this are the different levels of information systems, different criteria for information management, the diversity of EDI (Electronic Data Interchange) standards that are used among enterprises, the gap between real freight movement information and inputted information, and the discontinuity of logistics information between enterprises. In addition to analysis, this paper suggests system requirements to overcome these obstacles. Also discussed is the building of an integrated logistics information system to enable management of scattered freight information, utilizing mobile technologies like RFID (Radio Frequency IDentification) and GPS (Global Positioning Systems), which help in the tracking of in-transit freight. Adopting eAI (e-business Application Integration) too that make it possible to communicate efficiently with heterogeneous systems of other parties are also discussed. Furthermore, this paper suggests a design for an in-transit freight tracking system. In addition, I have conducted a cost-benefit analysis to verify the effectiveness of in-transit freight tracking system in international trade. Finally, I shall discuss some challenges that must be overcome in order to meet system requirements.
