BDI for shippers

As a shipper, you want your logistics processes to run as efficiently and smoothly as possible. The BDI allows you to automate all your processes and provides more insight into your chain, so you can respond to disruptions right away. The result: optimum planning, highly satisfied customers and much lower process costs.

Continuous process tracking

The BDI improves your insight into the chain. Thanks to the fast, accurate exchange of data and metadata in this framework, you know exactly where your cargo is and when it will arrive at its destination. You get the right information early on, so you have more time to adjust your planning in case of disruptions.

Cost saving

The BDI also helps you to save costs. Having a better insight into where your cargo is enables you to improve the organisation of your logistics processes, for example, by making more efficient use of storage spaces. The processes are also automated, so you will need fewer people to collect and process data.

Grip on your data

In addition, this automated framework enables you to maintain a grip on your data and prevent it from being misused. That is because this framework ensures that data remains at the source: when you share your data, you can determine for yourself who has access to it and for which purpose your data may be used. This is crucial, as you are often the owner of the data in the logistics chain.
