Beiersdorf AG has partnered with Transporeon, a Trimble Company, to transform its transport operations through an end-to-end ocean booking and shipment management system – Transporeon’s Transportation Management Platform. This innovative solution streamlines global collaboration among multiple stakeholders, eliminating errors, conserving resources, and resolving IT system compatibility issues.
Transporeon’s platform integrates carriers, custom brokers, and other key players in real-time, facilitating transparent communication and workflow efficiency. When Beiersdorf initiates container booking details, the data seamlessly integrates into a connected workflow visible throughout the transport chain. This automation simplifies manual processes such as booking requests, confirmations, and document handling, regardless of differing IT systems among carriers and authorities.
