Dachser Streamlines Ocean Shipment Booking with Integration Between
Hapag-Lloyd Spot Rates and Descartes Rate Management Solution
Descartes Systems Group (Nasdaq:DSGX) (TSX:DSG), the global leader
in uniting logistics-intensive businesses in commerce, announced
that Hapag-Lloyd spot rate offers and 30-day short-term rates are
now available in the Descartes Global Price Management™ (GPM)
solution. Dachser, a top 25 global forwarder, is streamlining ocean
shipment booking processes by using the integrated solution to
search and retrieve Hapag-Lloyd rates in real-time.
“Given the speed of rate changes today, it’s important to have
quick access to spot rates that are up-to-date and reflect current
market conditions,” said Lars Bostelmann, Business Administration
& Development Manager at Dachser. “The ability to access
Hapag-Lloyd’s spot products directly in the Descartes GPM platform
to quote and compare ocean freight gives us a more comprehensive
list of current shipping options from a centralized location,
making our shipment transactions even more simple, efficient and
accurate.”
The Descartes GPM solution helps freight forwarders elevate the
customer experience, reduce operational stress, and maximize
shipment margins by automating some of the most labor-intensive
aspects of their business—rate management, quoting, capacity
allocation management, detention and demurrage. It takes routing,
price, capacity and schedule information into account to provide
customers and sales teams with comprehensive pricing and service
recommendations, which delivers enhanced clarity, productivity and
value to the complicated process of managing multi-modal logistics
costs and surcharges. With application program interface
(API)-based connectivity to Hapag-Lloyd Quick Quote and Quick Quote
Spot products, Descartes GPM now provides customers with 24/7
access to search and secure competitive rates for short-term
volume.
“Unlocking the potential of real-time information is at the
foundation of digital transformation for the freight industry,”
said Arne Zass, Director Digital Transformation & Automation
Global Sales at Hapag-Lloyd. “Our Quick Quote products facilitate
this evolution by allowing companies, like Descartes, to more
easily connect their software systems to exchange data seamlessly
with Hapag-Lloyd as part of a fully digital quote and book
workflow.”
“We’re pleased that Dachser is using this innovation
successfully across its global sea freight operations to respond
effectively and accurately to customer quote requests,” said
Henning Voss, VP Product Management at Descartes. “Freight
forwarders and beneficial cargo owners want more options when
quoting and booking freight. By expanding our spot rate solution
capabilities with Hapag-Lloyd customers can better manage the
incredibly complex process of capturing, organizing and presenting
real-time rates to shippers and sales teams.”
