Ferliner Reduces Costs in Sea Container Transport with Smart Technology
In the logistics sector, we at Ferliner are continuously challenged to work and remain as cost-efficient as possible for our customers. For companies which dependent on sea container imports, smart digitalization is the key to lower operational costs. Ferliner is at the forefront of this: by deploying advanced technologies, we transform your logistics chain into a tightly controlled and financially efficient process.
Waiting times in ports and unexpected disruptions cost money immediately. By using a smart Transport Management System (TMS), logistics processes can now be planned much more accurately. Our systems have access to live arrival data from the ships, cargo status, and actual container unloading times. This allows our container flows to be managed proactively. This prevents us from literally losing valuable time—time that is translated by the ocean-carriers into invoices for quay dues, demurrage, and/or detention.
Paperless administration saves man-hours
The traditional handling of container import is accompanied by an enormous amount of paperwork. Manually checking Bills of Lading, Packing lists, Certificates, Customs documents etc. etc., takes an enormous amount of time. Digital platforms and smart technology (our TMS) make this document flow digital and fraud-proof. This accelerates administrative processing from hours to minutes. As a result, our customers save directly on handling costs and reduce the risk of administrative errors, which are often costly.
Return on digitization
In today’s digital age and market, investing in logistics technology is not an expense, but a smart strategy that quickly pays for itself. By automating processes and using data intelligently, we transform logistics processes for our customers from an unpredictable cost center into a controlled and cost-efficient process.
