JACKSONVILLE, Fla., Oct. 27, 2014 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- via PRWEB - ShipXpress Inc., a premier provider of cloud-based supply chain software, officially announced its agreement with Hess Corporation, one of the largest global independent energy companies engaged in the exploration and production of crude oil and natural gas.
Hess will utilize ShipX Crude Portal to manage their inventory using SCADA, track lease operator updates and effectively collaborate with its trucking companies, which haul oil and water from its wells. Hess will use electronic tickets to automate the reconciliation of crude custody transfers in real-time, thus eliminating the "paper chase" that has hindered the scalability of their rapidly growing business. Hess' Carriers can also access the system to dispatch loads to drivers and create error-free invoices. ShipX Crude Portal eliminates manual efforts for all parties, keeping them in-sync and helping them reduce costs, errors and process-time when reconciling tickets and invoices.
"We are fortunate to have a recognized industry leader such as Hess customizing our collaborative solution, which caters to all needs of the oil industry. Having a holistic solution that covers everything from production to custody transfer to truck, rail, pipeline and barge transportation and contract ratability, alongside real-time transparency to all parties, is going to have a significant impact on this industry that is so critical to our economy," said Charith Perera, CEO of ShipXpress.
