HAMBURG SUD is adopting EquipmentRepair 3.0, a solution developed by International Asset Systems (IAS) to manage the carrier's container maintenance and repair (M&R) programme globally. The ocean liner plans to use the IAS web-based software and communications hub to coordinate worldwide repairs for its 390,000-strong container fleet.
"As Hamburg Sud continues to grow, the work involved in managing container M&R also increases. We identified that more global support and connectivity was needed between our repair and storage depot vendors, local Hamburg Sud offices and our headquarters in Hamburg," said Martin Schoeler, deputy director Logistics and Technology in a statement from Hamburg Sud.
Following "rigorous appraisal and testing," the company selected the new IAS EquipmentRepair 3.0 as its global system. It said it is now in the process of deploying the system to its full network of over 300 depot vendors worldwide.
"IAS EquipmentRepair is a Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) solution that facilitates the M&R approval process, allowing equipment owners to automate depot communications, track, control and reduce M&R costs and increase productivity and efficiency.
EquipmentRepair 3.0, delivering improved data accuracy and process management, was released this year as a major upgrade of what was already the most widely-used M&R application in the industry," the carrier said.
"As a north-south carrier with a very large reefer fleet, Hamburg Sud puts a lot of focus on controlling M&R costs and reducing equipment turn-time," added Douglas Owen, general manager, EMEA for IAS.
