Case Study: Panalpina saves time managing carrier schedules with CargoSmart Sailing Schedules

Panalpina Saves Time Managing Carrier Schedule Information with CargoSmart’s Sailing Schedules

Panalpina, a global logistics service provider operating on six continents, needed a faster way to manage constantly changing carrier sailing schedules. With carrier alliances, vessel diversions, and rolled shipments creating frequent updates, the company was spending too much time manually compiling and maintaining schedule information. CargoSmart’s sailing schedules offered a way to simplify this process.

Using CargoSmart’s sailing schedule integration, Panalpina connected to schedule data from 20 ocean carriers through its in-house transportation management system via Web services. This gave the team more up-to-date information on demand, reduced transmission and storage costs, and improved shipment planning accuracy. As a result, Panalpina streamlined schedule management, saved operations time, and strengthened customer service with more reliable booking information.
