What is TILIS

The Totally Intelligent Logistics Inquiry Service (TILIS) is a project that will establish shared infrastructure in the form of a web gateway for the transport and logistics industry.

TILIS is a key TALC project and is a significant initiative by the Commonwealth and NSW State Governments - in collaboration with other states - to work with industry and government authorities to build capability across the national transport and logistics (T&L) industry.

TILIS has two main aspects, a web gateway that will provide a national entry point for people seeking business information on the T&L industry; and a ‘backend’ that will include a repository. Repositories are important as places where people in areas like education and training such as publishers, developers and providers (universities, libraries, TAFE and government) and users (authors, staff, students, parents) store and manage content. This also applies to general commercial and business transactions between companies and individuals. Web based freight matching services and consignment tracking between different carriers is also possible using the same technology.

Taken together the web gateway and repository form a bridge that will make it easier for individuals, business, government and professional bodies to communicate and exchange information.  Costs are dramatically cut by reducing the reliance on expensive IT infrastructure and improving how different systems in use by public and private organisations can connect and exchange content.
