The system further includes an interface layer for facilitating communications between the portal and the back-end modules. The system moreover includes a contract and capacity management module configured for enabling the carriers and the forwarders to strategically position their capacity. The system yet also includes a real time integration layer configured for enabling external systems to interact with the system.
