[110517.EN.SEA] DP World's New Container Tracking Solution Sends Goods Faster to Shops

MAJOR enabler of global trade and an integral part of the supply chain, DP World, has demonstrated its latest 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 company said.

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.

Senior vice president and managing director, DP World - Europe and Russia - Ganesh Raj, said: "This solution is a natural extension of our mission to add value for our customers and help solve their toughest challenges.

"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".
