Emphasizing on the e-DO service initiative, Vineet Malhotra, Director of Kale Logistics Solutions said, “We stand by the industry during these tough times and would like to offer these business continuity services to the Shipping Lines and Freight Forwarders. At times like these, there is limited cashflow in the market as well as a demand slump. Therefore, we are offering a completely cloud hosted, outcome-based service model with zero upfront investment.
