Rhenus Brazil Introduces New TMS Fênix Software, Enabling Shippers to View and Track Solutions

Newly enhanced web-based management solution allows customers total control over their import and export shipment processes

The Rhenus Group, a leading global logistics service provider, has enhanced and released its fourth generation of Fênix, Rhenus Brazil’s Transportation Management System (TMS). The web-based integrated solution is designed to meet shippers’ needs for air and ocean freight services and offers simplified features that optimize the day-to-day import and export operations. The system maximizes clients’ personnel resources and ensures the company’s competitiveness of their pricing in the market.
