Ports Operator Launches Container Tracking Application
16th May 2017
Ports operator DP World launched what it calls “the most advanced container tracking solution developed by a port terminal operator” under the theme of “Where’s My Container?” at Transport Logistic in Munich.
The enhancement to the current beta version, after feedback from a pilot release, opens the door for users to have greater visibility of their cargo and improves speed-to-shelf opportunities such as improved replenishment forecasts and better inventory allocation.
The container tracking solution represents a major step forward for customers by reducing administration and providing better data quality for their planning and logistics of getting products onto shelves. This solution will be rolled out in a phased manner and initially be made available across DP World’s UK terminals.
“This solution is a natural extension of our mission to add value for our customers and help solve their toughest challenges,” said Ganesh Raj (pictured), Senior Vice President and Managing Director, DP World – Europe and Russia. “Access to visibility of containerised cargo has traditionally been time consuming and challenging; today’s enhanced tool demonstrates how this solution can help our customers plan and manage their supply chain more effectively and in real-time.”
