Charith Perera, the CEO of ShipXpress, states: "We are fortunate to have the experts at Ryder help us customize the Supply Chain Portal to efficiently coordinate the supplies required for exploration and production activity."
"The ShipXpress Supply Chain Portal enables us to efficiently scale our services to our customers' needs and execute thousands of loads daily, free from error," says Will Taylor, Senior Director of Engineering at Ryder Oil & Gas. "From the mobile app that makes it more convenient for the well site coordinator to manage the steady flow of sand and water, to online invoicing that helps us speed order to cash cycles for bulk carriers, Ryder is helping oil and gas customers increase visibility and improve lead time and planning."
