The Intranet is a powerful support to provide information and services to meet the needs of
the firm’s employees. Its use is not specific to logistics industry and there are already running
applications in most leading companies such as Cisco . It typically includes
interactive tools for facilities, travel arrangements, technical documentation, human resources,
training, sales and marketing, and financial matters. In addition to standard selections by geographic
area, type of services, business functions, company and employee information, it can
have a number of repositories, which group links on particular topics or for a targeted population
(e.g. for new hires or for professional staff).
