Windward's solution will provide Scan Global Logistics'
customers with a single source of truth of real-time ocean
freight data, enhanced visibility, and the tools to optimise
decision-making and manage by exception for increased on-time
performance.
COPENHAGEN, Denmark,
Nov. 30, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Scan
Global Logistics (SGL), a global full-service logistics provider
with a rapid growth rate, has partnered with Windward (LSE:
WNWD), the leading Maritime AI™ company. The partnership
will allow SGL to proactively identify potential ocean shipment
delays, enabling an enhanced exception management process.
Windward's AI insights will be integrated into SGL's customer
portal (mySGL), providing first-of-its-kind real-time visibility
with predictive insights into ocean freight with automated updates
and maritime AI-predicted ETAs.
A need for accurate and dependable data
The challenges faced by the supply chain industry in recent
years have led to increased digitalisation to overcome them. One
crucial aspect that has gained widespread recognition is ocean
freight visibility. Although there has been some improvement in the
reliability of ocean freight, global events continue to cause
delays in the supply chain.
Reports from October 2023
highlight a decline in ocean freight reliability during
August 2023, with an increase in
average vessel delays. Given the inherent instability of the supply
chain, it is essential to have accurate and dependable solutions in
place.
The implementation and integration of the Windward AI solution
will allow SGL customers access to a sharable shipment link,
providing them and other stakeholders with a clean and clear
understanding of notable milestones and delays, including late
departures and late or missed transshipments. SGL users can also
utilise Windward's data to analyse carrier performance better and
optimise their planning accordingly.
"At SGL, we are constantly pursuing tech excellence to
redefine logistics management for our customers and partners,"
says Mads Drejer, COO of Scan Global
Logistics, and continues:
"The strategic integration of Windward's Ocean Freight
Visibility solution into our systems exemplifies our commitment to
this, ensuring unparalleled visibility and transparency from a
single source of truth. We believe that by providing our customers
with real-time visibility, advanced analytics, and data-driven
insights, we can help them optimize their supply chain operations
and drive business success."
"The integration of our Maritime AI insights into
SGL's platform allows their customers to adopt the power of AI
seamlessly. This partnership empowers SGL's customers to
manage their supply chain operations by exception and proactively
mitigate risks, all from within their familiar work
environments," says Ami
Daniel, CEO and co-founder of Windward.
"Ultimately, our goal is to support greater efficiency and
success in the complex world of freight logistics. This partnership
represents a significant step in streamlining the complex freight
logistics process for SGL's vast global network, and we look
forward to further driving efficiency in this industry."
Windward has leveraged its 12 years of experience building AI
models to launch its Ocean Freight Visibility solution with
Maritime AI™ Predicted ETAs, which are based on deep learning
models trained to understand the multitude of factors affecting the
movement of goods across the ocean.
