Partnership Enhances Logistics Management For Trade Show Materials

Compiled ByDeborah Austin CF AirFreight and exhibit services company Exhibitgroup/Giltspur -- a division of business services firm The Viad Corp., Phoenix -- are partnering to extend the logistics capabilities of Exhibitgroup/Giltspur's new online exhibit management tool, EGXpress. Using EGXpress, Exhibitgroup/Giltspur customers' field and distribution networks can order displays, custom graphics and support materials for modular and portable display systems --accessing real-time visibility of display booths in inventory and logistics activity associated with those displays. The technology integration with CF AirFreight guarantees continuous flow of real-time logistics information within the EGXpress software. The software was developed to address recent exhibit industry trends indicating that companies are exhibiting more frequently at smaller trade shows, which has made management more complex. CF Airfreight is a unit of Consolidated Freightways Corp., Vancouver, Wash.
