DP World in Dubai has now launched worldwide digital platforms throughout the supply chain to move global trade online, which means businesses can book shipments of cargo to and from anywhere in the world, by any combination of sea, land and air.
The platforms have already been rolled out to help companies meet the challenges associated with the current coronavirus outbreak and ensure trade is kept flowing.
The initiative follows the recent acquisition of SeaRates.com by DP World, which is a digital platform that enables customers to transport cargo worldwide at the click of a button, along with AirRates.com and LandRates.com
DP World has also created the Digital Freight Alliance, an online association that brings freight forwarders globally onto one platform, giving them access to new tools, routes and services, and enabling them to do more business anytime anywhere.
‘Our new platforms are moving the management of moving cargo online. It will enable our customers to be more efficient and increase the visibility and predictability of supply chains. This will help them to grow their businesses, and ultimately keep countries supplied with the vital goods they need in the crisis.’ – Mike Bhaskaran – DP World Chief Operating Officer For Logistics & Technology, Mike Bhaskaran
