Providing global door-to-door transport services is a complex process based on numerous partial steps and the coordination of many participants. Hapag-Lloyd operates a self-developed IT system which covers all transport related data in a central database with simultaneous access worldwide. Further optimising the individual operational processes and creating new, innovative solutions for customers are the main reasons why Hapag-Lloyd engaged in comprehensive development work. Today, the company continues to focus mainly on information technology (IT).
The IT investment focuses on further expanding the e-business area and the four e-channels. Hapag-Lloyd has thus come a great deal closer to achieving the goal of handling its entire data and information exchange with customers and suppliers electronically via intelligent system solutions. This includes in particular the systematic enhancement of electronic data exchange (EDI), which, apart from automatic booking handling, has also offered electronic processing of dispatch documents.
Customers’ benefits are:
New Brazilian Regulation to transmit Customs manifest information (Siscarga).
