The logistics software provider CargoWise said Friday it has tied up a global partnership with the Hong Kong-based network of independent freight forwarders Combined Logistics Networks (CLN).
The deal will allow CLN’s 300 worldwide members to use CargoWise’s cloud-based enterprise logistics software, ediEnterprise.
“We decided to partner with CargoWise due to its equal passion for quality,” said Nils Walle, director and co-founder of CLN. “We’ve known CargoWise for many years now and no other technology company comes close in terms of the ease of use and feature-rich communication technology it provides for forwarders and agents. Communication integration between all members will increase productivity, reduce operating costs and maximize profitability for our forwarders.”
CLN will also join the WiseIndustry Partner program, developed by CargoWise to allow logistics network members to benefit from integrated data exchange delivered via a single global platform.
“CLN network members will have significant productivity improvement by implementing CargoWise software and leveraging ediEnterprise’s accelerated and single-source data exchange capabilities,” said Vlad Bilanovsky, CargoWise’s vice president of partner management, in a statement. “Automated data exchange between import and export agents could save the CLN network as much as 70 percent of operational costs, remove 90 percent of duplicated effort, and provide greater job visibility and service levels to its customers.”
