Shipping is the first true global, mobile industry. Shipping companies operate across several time zones, and vast expanses of ocean; rely on timely coordination of efforts, resources and information - both in port and while at sea; and require continual informed decision-making to optimize loads and respond to changing conditions.As such, the industry faces significant challenges; routing (especially in areas known for piracy), high input prices, regulatory changes, freight rate volatility and fluctuating fuel costs have made the industry increasingly complex. At the same time, there is limited collaboration between partners in the shipping sector on data that could make each business more productive and reduce costs.Mobile applications are revolutionizing the shipping industry, enabling shipping companies to adjust operations on the fly in response to changing business conditions, while helping to mitigate risk, and save time and money. Globo is at the heart of this transformation, helping companies to develop robust native mobile applications or ones that work across all of the major mobile OS platforms - iOS, Android, Windows and BlackBerry.
