Traxens announces partnership with COSCO
Traxens, a company that provides high-value data and services for the supply chain industry, announces a partnership with COSCO Shipping Logistics that aims to promote a full set of IoT data services based on Traxens cutting-edge smart container solutions.
Both companies are carrying out a test program to provide IoT data services to COSCO Shipping Logistics’ large worldwide base of beneficial cargo owners (BCO) customers and aiming to join force in promoting supply chain digitalisation. This follows the opening of Traxens’ China office – its first outside of France.
COSCO is a global shipping company and a container logistics operator in China. In partnering with COSCO, Traxens 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 digitalisation 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 digitalisation 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 digitalisation of the container logistics industry to the benefit of customers worldwide.”
“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,” said Vincent Gu, managing director, Traxens Asia-Pacific. “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 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 digitalisation 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 global logistics company, we always pay close attention to the needs of our customers in their supply chain.
