The transport sector in the CADSES area has witnessed the recent development of ITC solutions catering to various actors in the field of transport. Although built using the state-of-the-art technology, the available IT systems and services attempting to support planning, operational and controlling activities within the context of intermodal transport chains do not seem to be able to support the demanding requirements of transnational intermodal transport chains, nor are they - restricted in scope and reach as they are - providing attractive business propositions for the IT services suppliers and (potential) users. Achievements: GILDANET achieved the following results: - To improve the overall efficiency of the international transport system, - To target the main factors limiting the efficiency of modal exchange operations, and hindering the development of combined transport, - To implement the created ICT systems in order to support all the flows and the exchange of information and documents related to intermodal and transnational transport chains, - To assert GILDANET as the main portal for CADSES logistics operators, - To develop value-adding functions in order to improve the benefits offered by the system, - To internationalise GILDANET, integrating the output of the different national and international projects, - To reach a large number of users and develop payable services in order to render the initiative financially sustainable, - To gain institutional standing with international public and private subjects who manage complementary platforms, - To promote investments and concrete national and regional planning policies for competitive transport systems.
