E-Commerce and the Canadian Trucking Industry |
 |
|
|
|
Electronic commerce, or e-commerce, can be defined as the buying and
selling of goods and
services through electronic means such as the Internet, email, fax and
Electronic Data Interchange (EDI). E-commerce is an important facet of the broader
term “e-business,” which
refers to automating business processes of all types through electronic
means.
Transport Canada and Industry Canada have joined forces with the Canadian Trucking Alliance to
commission this E-Commerce and the Canadian Trucking Industry study. This undertaking
is an excellent example of
the federal government working in partnership with the private sector to foster
Canada’s economic vitality. The study was completed in two phases: a detailed Needs
Assessment Report, and the creation
of an information package (Toolkit and Handbook) tailored to the Canadian trucking context. The
overall goal of this study is to raise awareness of e-commerce and increase its
adoption in the Canadian trucking industry.
