Mainfreight has turned to Microsoft's new Windows Server 2003 and .Net technology to build an online freight-tracking system. The $250,000 application, called Mainchain, was developed by South Auckland company Designer Technology. It links 11 databases and systems in several countries. Mainfreight IT manager Kevin Drinkwater said Mainchain gave the company the information it needed without having to alter back-end systems or buy expensive supply chain applications. "We didn't want to develop another database and .Net gave us that ability," Drinkwater said.
