You’ve spent years building your logistics tech solution. But now your carrier connectivity is no longer in your control, shaped by platform consolidation and shifting priorities.
Here’s how to take back control before it affects your roadmap or customers.
A Hidden Threat From Past Choices
As the logistics tech landscape rapidly consolidates, the neutrality of the solution you depend on for carrier connectivity is no longer a luxury—it’s a strategic necessity.
When your core data connectivity is tied into a suite you didn’t choose, controlled by a competitor, or built on legacy infrastructure that’s becoming obsolete, you’re not just dealing with inefficiency, you’re risking your future. Your flexibility disappears. Your roadmap becomes constrained. And your ability to innovate slows to a crawl.
Logistics technology consolidation is not theoretical; it’s happening now at an accelerating pace. Private equity shows increasing interest in the industry, and larger logtech players are absorbing others. A very recent example: Wisetech acquiring e2open, who had previously acquired INTTRA, a previously dominant but now incumbent ocean connectivity platform. Many logistics tech providers are being pulled into a TMS-centric suite they never signed up for. Other examples of consolidation include Blue Yonder (a major TMS) acquiring One Network, or Wisetech’s earlier acquisitions of Blume and BSM Global, as well as Infor’s acquisition of GT Nexus. Also, did you know that CargoSmart is owned by COSCO/OOCL, the major Chinese ocean carrier conglomerate?
What Does That Mean for Your TMS Business?
If you’ve competed with e2open, for example, in the past or intentionally stayed independent, this latest move reinforces what many have already sensed: relying on an embedded, suite-bound carrier connectivity layer is no longer viable. The role of INTTRA, originally founded by the leading ocean carriers, had initially been a neutral, ocean carrier-focused data platform, but that has been eroding for years. Now its future is tied to a broader suite strategy, one that may not align with yours.
You don’t want your most critical connectivity infrastructure owned by a competitor. And you definitely don’t want it trapped inside a legacy system that no longer serves your growth. Multimodal (ocean, parcel, air, road) carrier connectivity is another requirement, which we’ll cover later.
Take Back Control with a Vendor-Neutral Solution for Carrier Connectivity
Coneksion® is a provider of data connectivity for various stakeholders in the global logistics domain, including logistics tech providers who refuse to be boxed in. We deliver a modern, API-first, vendor-neutral solution for carrier connectivity across all transport modes, including ocean, air, road, and rail. There’s no bundled software, no lock-in, and no vendor agenda, as we don’t sell a TMS, and we don’t compete with you. We simply provide the global, scalable carrier data connectivity layer your platform needs to thrive.
Why Neutrality Matters Now
Let’s clarify what we mean by neutrality in the context of data connectivity. Neutrality is about your ability to choose and control the platform through which you connect to carriers. It means freedom from vendor interference, roadmap restrictions, and hidden commercial conflicts.
When the solution your business relies on is acquired, deprecated, or integrated into a larger suite, you lose that control. And the longer you wait, the harder it becomes to regain it.
The good news is, you’re not alone. More and more companies are moving away from INTTRA and other suite-bound legacy platforms in search of independence, resilience, and speed. Coneksion® is here to support and accelerate that shift, as well as to future-proof your core carrier connectivity infrastructure.
