Redwood Logistics (Redwood), one of the fastest-growing supply chain and logistics companies in North America, today announced its partnership with Snowflake, the Data Cloud company, expanding the network of RedwoodConnect™ integrated solutions. The partnership enables customers to stream logistics data at high-volume and high-speed to the Snowflake platform via a drag-and-drop connector within RedwoodConnect™, solving the challenge in customers’ logistics data gap within their reporting suite.

“Integrating Snowflake with RedwoodConnect™ will simplify data movement for Redwood customers, creating actionable data that delivers insights, drives innovation and scales securely and effortlessly,” said Eric Rempel, Chief Innovation Officer, Redwood. "Logistics data can now be moved from any transportation management system (TMS) through RedwoodConnect™ into a powerful online warehouse. Combined with our Extract, Transform, Load (ETL) as a service, this joint solution provides a game-changing value to our customers.”

RedwoodConnect™, a proprietary, turnkey supply chain integration platform designed to streamline the most complex integration cases, continues to modernize operations for customers through this partnership by providing the ability to make quick and accurate logistics decisions with data. This end-to-end solution makes the arduous step of ETL as simple as plug-and-play. Businesses can now extract data from any TMS, such as Oracle Transportation Management (OTM), and stream raw and modeled data into Snowflake’s Data Cloud via RedwoodConnect™.

“Redwood Logistics is bringing cloud scale and horsepower to the logistics industry. They connect the systems customers use across their supply chain, and now Snowflake can help bring meaning from all that data streamed through the Data Cloud,” said Tim Long, Global Head of Manufacturing, Snowflake.

Once a customer’s data is in Snowflake, the organization can use any Business Intelligence (BI) tool to analyze and visualize data across all aspects of their organization. With this partnership, the data sources now include logistics.

Hub International announces strategic partnership with Mas Seguros to expand transportation cross-border capabilities

Chicago, IL, October 1, 2024 - Hub International Limited (HUB), a leading global insurance brokerage and financial services firm, announced today an exclusive referral and broker program partnership throughout the U.S., Canada and Mexico with MAS Seguros, the largest trucking insurance broker in Mexico. The partnership is a response to Mexico’s growing influence in the global economy and a reflection of HUB’s and MAS Seguros’ commitment to expanding its capabilities to better serve clients doing business throughout North America.

Due to changing global political relationships and policies*, there has been a significant move for manufacturing operations to Mexico, which comes with increased risk and insurance challenges when transporting goods cross-border. Organizations face regulatory compliance issues, crime, product damage, catastrophic weather events and accidents. Additionally, more transportation firms from Mexico are moving to the U.S. As a result, there is an emerging transportation and logistics need to manage risk and insure freight, property and assets while transporting goods into Mexico for manufacturing and then back to the U.S. and Canada.
