Overview

CLOExpress is the fast track to the web for Chief Logistics Officers and other logistics professionals. The site was created by Norbridge, Inc., a consulting firm whose largest practice area is transportation and logistics management, and is powered by CEOExpress, the leading developer of executive desktop portals.

Logistics is rapidly assuming "C-level" status in many companies, increasingly recognized for its significant impact on companies' costs, revenue and customer satisfaction. As the means to manage inventory at rest or in motion, successful logistics drives plant productivity, product availability, customer loyalty, and working capital.

The leaders of this activity - Chief Logistics Officers and their staffs - require an extremely broad base of knowledge and skills, for effective functional management of transportation, warehousing, and other related logistics disciplines, as well as for effective coordination with other departments, including Purchasing, Marketing, Operations, Finance, and Information Systems. Add the dynamic shifts of global sourcing and markets, and CLOs clearly have their hands full!

Saving time - that's our first order of business.

The Internet provides logistics managers with a fabulous wealth of resources. That's also a problem, because it's difficult to find exactly what you need, and be sure it's the best. We've designed CLOExpress to be your most efficient and useful first stop on the web.

Here's how:

Proven Format for Executives - We've modeled CLOExpress after the highly acclaimed CEOExpress, which has over 100,000 registered users, and over 4 million page views per month.

Information Intensive - With no frills, few graphics, and limited advertising, we're able to put the full breadth of logistics at your fingertips. Scrolling the first page, you'll see over 600 key links in 35 logistics categories. There's still room for some fun, as you'll see in the Breaktime tab (available to registered CLOExpress members).

80/20 Rule - Unlike other sites, we're not trying to be exhaustive on every topic. We've selected the largest, most important, or most interesting sites relevant to every major facet of logistics. You'll undoubtedly find and need others, but CLOExpress is always the best place to start.

Customizable - If you want to expand or modify our selected links, it's easy. Once you have registered as a member just click on the "Edit" link in the upper right corner of each category (widget) and you can add your favorite carriers, references, and industry-specific sources.

Continuous Updates - CLOExpress was created by logistics professionals, and we will continue to keep it up-to-date and alive, ensuring that we're your first and most useful stop on the web. Please contact us with any questions or link suggestions you may have at feedback. And please, tell a friend!
