Port operator PSA International’s supply chain operation has teamed up with US technology provider One Network Enterprises.
It will offer shippers and 3PLs that use its port facilities “track-and-trace visibility, alerts and notifications and a comprehensive supply chain control tower” for logistics activities beyond terminal gates.
PSA Cargo Solutions said One Network’s NEO platform would “augment” PSA’s Calista platform across many of its global network of ports and handle “thousands of bookings per month over nearly 100 global transport lanes across Asia and the EU”.
Capabilities of the joint solution so far include: shipment planning, order management and execution, including PO planning, and optimisation; exception management, including detention & demurrage alerts and updates; carrier management for ocean, road and rail, including barge booking; rate management; booking management across modes and at the purchase order, container and carton level; order confirmation, status updates and reporting, with both online and physical reports; multimodal shipment management; document management and invoicing.
“Combining the unique capabilities of the One Network platform with PSA’s services in global logistics and port-based warehousing will be game-changing in the maritime supply chain world and will unlock enormous business value for customers,” said Bruce Jacquemard, chief revenue officer at One.
“Together, we’ll be able to deliver real-time visibility and cost-optimized decision making for customers that is unparalleled,” he added.
“We are pleased to be partnering with One Network Enterprises in this strategic relationship to enhance the value that PSA Cargo Solutions can offer,” said Ghim Siew Ho, head group commercial, strategy and cargo solutions at PSA.
“As a global terminal operator, PSA sits at key nodal points of the supply chain. Our vision is to connect the supply chain communities and empower them with the ability to move their goods with greater intelligence, agility and resilience.
“By augmenting PSA’s current physical and digital capabilities with One’s leading network technology, we believe we can amplify the functionalities of our Calista platform to the benefit of our supply chain stakeholders,” she added.
