ZIM taps MatchBack Systems to unlock savings for Italy's inland operations
|
Time:2017/8/29 10:48:14 |
ZIM Integrated Shipping has joined the software company MatchBack Systems' customer base in a move designed to optimise its inland operations in Italy.
MatchBack Systems, a software as a service (SaaS) provider, will initiate a two-month pilot for the Israeli shipping line that will plan, optimise and automate matchbacks, reported American Shipper.
According to the software company, a matchback occurs when containers are reused, "pairing an import move with an export transport move inland, resulting in significant savings in time, costs and emissions."
The ZIM system will be serviced through the software company's Rotterdam office in Europe and corporate headquarters in North America.
"We like the company's inventive technological approach to gain matchback savings through fewer empty container moves," Zim's head of global land transportation, Gil Lehmann, was quoted as saying. "We endorse innovation and new technological platforms, which we see as vital tools to promote our strategic values - efficiency and profitability leading to improved customer service."
"ZIM supports MatchBack Systems use of big data to analyse, predict, optimise and ultimately automate the daily workflows to execute the optimal matchbacks. Along with lowering costs and improving equipment utilisation, there's enormous positive environmental impact when matchbacks are executed, as the eliminated movements reduce harmful emissions," added CEO at MatchBack Systems, Todd Ericksrud. | | | | | | | |
