True/False

Unilever's web-based database, the Transportation Business Center TBC), provides its 30 contract carriers with site specification requirements about pick-up and delivery locations. The TBC contains information such as contact names and phone numbers, operating hours, the number of dock doors at a location, the height of the dock doors, how to make an appointment to deliver or pick up shipments, pallet configuration, and other special requirements. Unilever's practice of providing this kind of information over a network with its carriers is an example of how extranets are used by companies to collaborate with each other.
