Traxens has struck a deal with COSCO Shipping Logistics to promote internet of things (IoT) data services to increase supply chain visibility and digitalization.
In a statement Traxens said the partnership will be based on its “cutting-edge” smart container solutions.
Both companies will carry out a test programme in order to provide IoT data services to COSCO Shipping Logistics’ large worldwide base of beneficial cargo owners (BCO).
This follows the opening of Traxens’ China office – its first outside France.
In partnering with COSCO, Traxens said it will be able to demonstrate its capacity in creating customer values through promoting its smart container solutions and digital services, and significantly contributing to the ongoing digitalization of the global container logistics industry.
As the global supply chain becomes more and more competitive, improved tracking and smart data management is an increasingly important differentiation factor for all the major players in the shipping industry.
Through this partnership, COSCO will be able to offer premium data services to its large base of BCOs who are seeking door-to-door visibility and ever-increasing efficiency in their supply chains.
This joint development in container supply chain digitalization marks a milestone in Traxens’ international expansion strategy and will help the company push forward with further business development in Asia.
“Our main focus as a business is to be able to create substantial customer value by delivering superior solution and services through technological innovation and global customer support capacity” said David Marchand, Traxens CEO.
“Our partnership with COSCO will greatly benefit cargo owners and end-users and encourage further digitalization of the container logistics industry to the benefit of customers worldwide.”
Vincent Gu, Managing Director, Traxens Asia-Pacific, also commented: “Traxens is delighted to be working with COSCO, providing its industry-proven smart container solutions to help streamline the company’s operations and enhance customers experience.”
“Providing fleets with global visibility, exception management and business intelligence is what Traxens does best. By partnering up with global shipping companies such as COSCO we are able to demonstrate what our market-leading IoT solutions are capable of, giving client companies end-to-end shipment visibility and predictive insights that will benefit the end-users and the whole industry.”
“Through our partnership with Traxens, we aim to be at the forefront of digitalization and to maintain our leadership in the global container logistics industry,” said Sheng Liu, general manager of the container logistics division of COSCO SHIPPING Logistics.
“As a leading global logistics company, we always pay close attention to the needs of our customers in their supply chain. We believe that the IoT services developed by Traxens are important to improve tracking and management of moving assets.”
