Of particular interest to them were IBS’ products iLogistics and iPort. V K Mathews, CMD - IBS, spoke on the advantages when companies implemented iLogisitics in their operations. The fact that the oil and gas industry was showing an increasing willingness to share logistics resources amongst themselves bodes well for the product.
The delegation later discussed opportunities for partnerships, the prospects for Travel Transportation and Logistics in the Dominican Republic, specifically a combined seaport/airport operation for passengers and cargo, government policies, e-governance, and the Cyber Park at Santo Domingo, the capital of the Dominican Republic.
