SINGAPORE's APL now offers Traxens, a feature that offers near real-time data of the movement and condition of cargo
SINGAPORE's APL now offers Traxens, a feature that offers near real-time data of the movement and condition of cargo. Shippers can expect to receive information such as their defined shipment milestones, idle time and temperature monitoring throughout the container journey, said the company.
Traxens collects and transmits data generated by other condition-monitoring devices in the container which shippers have end-to-end visibility, it added.
This initiative is consistent with CMA CGM's customer centric strategy, leveraging innovative technologies to drive customer value, said the company statement.
CMA CGM, of which APL is now a unit, is the first company to invest in Traxens. 'Founded in 2012, this French start-up has been developing solutions for the cargo logistics arena and has created an innovative container monitoring and coordination system.' said the company statement.
Characterised by its permanently affixed device on a container, Traxens saves shippers the hassle of reverse logistics for pick up and coordinating with multiple players along the container journey, it said.
'Shippers who go onboard Traxens are in for an effective supply chain management. With insights from the technology, they will be able to identify low-performance areas and implement better calculated solutions for their supply chain.' said APL chief commercial officer Arnaud Coudray.
