B.I.G. Logistics launches centralized logistics operating system on single global database

Dallas, Texas – February 14th, 2023 —B.I.G. Logistics LLC, a SecurCapital Corp company, today announced a new partnership with CargoWise, the leading industry provider of global logistics and supply chain management IT solutions. This partnership will allow B.I.G. Logistics to significantly expand its international reach and enhance its ability to provide comprehensive logistics services to its customers around the world optimizing operations across borders, regulatory boundaries, compliance and all freight modes.

B.I.G. Logistics, LLC is a leading third-party logistics provider (3PL) and technology-enabled warehouse management IT platform with warehouses throughout Texas and along the Mexican border.


B.I.G. Logistics CEO Vinod Baliga shared, “B.I.G. Logistics is excited to be live on the CargoWise platform, which was selected as the ERP system of choice for our Supply Chain Logistics Services, because of its robust international solution and alignment with our strategic growth initiatives and objectives. Being that both of our current M&A additions were existing CargoWise users, the migration has been seamless and will allow our company to offer a fully integrated database solution to our market with visibility and E2E intel in the Supply Chain.”

CargoWise is industry recognized as the most comprehensive, end-to-end, global logistics platform. In addition to providing real time visibility and automation tools, the platform supports deep integration data flows to international airline carriers, ocean shipping lines, and air and seaports. Documentation is fully automated from the initial quotation through booking, in-transit, warehouse and invoicing for real-time operations and financial integration.

The timing of the CargoWise implementation is a perfect strategic fit for the B.I.G. Logistics multi-year expansion. The real value is upgrading the existing client functionality and efficiency with real time visibility and reporting through the entire shipment workflow and easily scaling the platform for both new client on-boarding and new M&A activity.

Equally important is all the customs documentation required for international clearance on each shipment through air and seaports. The platform is purposedly designed to provide both multi-currency and multi-lingual functionality covering the entire documentation compliance.

Always striving to improve the client experience through operational efficiencies, B.I.G. Logistics and their operational teams have the pre-eminent platform in supporting their expanded customer base – real time alerts and visibility on shipping status, operational automation from quotation through invoicing, and integrated customs clearance.

Steve Russell, CEO & Founder, SecurCapital Corp added: “Adding CargoWise a proven global operating system to our suite of technology solutions greatly complements our stack of services and adds visibility for our cross-border ecommerce which is time-sensitive and complex. As we add acquisitions integrating within weeks to one global platform will give the group a real competitive edge in the market.”

Australian supermarket chain rolls out AI-powered grocery carts

Grocery shoppers in Australia will soon be able to zip in and out of the store in record time, bypassing the lines for cashiers or self-checkout kiosks altogether. They can just walk in, make their selections, and walk out with their bags in hand.

The secret to this express shopping experience is the “Caper Cart,” an AI (artificial intelligence)-powered smart trolley from San Francisco-based Instacart. In its first deployment in the Asia Pacific (APAC) region, the system is being tested by Coles Supermarkets, a food and beverage retailer with more than 1,800 grocery and liquor stores throughout the country.
