DP World has launched its new digital logistics platform, Cargoes Logistics, which provides customers with instant online cargo booking, highly efficient movement and tracking, from origin to destination.
The new digital platform is a single-window solution that enables customers to choose from multimodal logistics options, ship freight by sea, road, or rail, get instant quotes, swift booking confirmation and multiple secure payment options in three steps: Search, Choose & Book.
“With Cargoes Logistics, our aim is to build and offer highly efficient, seamless and end-to-end transparent supply chains,” stated Rizwan Soomar, CEO & MD, Subcontinent of DP World.
“The new digital solution will simplify the container shipping experience providing visibility across all modes of transportation through smart enablement of Internet of Things (IoT) based solutions,” he pointed out.
The first phase of the launch will immediately offer access to book cargo from United Arab Emirates (UAE) to India as well as India to multiple destinations across the Middle East, Subcontinent, Southeast Asia, the Far East and North Africa, with plans to be further extended globally.
Cargoes Logistics aims to address complexities and inefficiencies that exist in global supply chains including multiple handovers, inefficient tracking and limited visibility of a shipment, by enhancing transparency, providing tracking of cargo with real-time insights and end-to-end visibility and predictability.
The new platform will also facilitate the ease of doing business while boosting reliability, flexibility and providing a seamless experience to customers for efficient movement of their cargo, according to the global port operator.
“Demand for digital solutions has never been higher and will only keep growing,” said Pradeep Desai, Chief Technology Officer of DP World, who went on to note that DP World created Cargoes to solve pressing challenges caused by supply chain-related inefficiencies.
“It’s a holistic solution powered by technology targeting all aspects of global trade including Finance, ERP, Tracking, Terminal Operating System, Customs software and enabling end-to-end logistics,” he added.
