Damco announces digitized freight service
John Klompers, the company’s global head of freight forwarding, told LM in an interview that he sees the modern freight forwarder changing into a global freight supply chain “orchestrator.”
“Service reliability, space allocation guarantees and a multi-carrier platform have become much more important to spread risks and to avoid supply chain disruptions,” he says.
Now Damco is looking to compete with Twill and will enable logistics managers to book, manage and monitor shipments online.
“Damco is a frontrunner in the digitalization of the supply chains and does this by co-creating with customers,” says Klompers. “The focus is on the customers’ immediate needs and using technology to provide insights and trends, and to spot potential problems and supply chain stresses before something goes wrong. We have developed Apps to provide the visibility needed to effectively manage supply chains.”
