DPW LAUNCHES ‘CARGOES LOGISTICS’ SINGLE WINDOW PLATFORM
After acquiring US-based logistics solutions company, Syncreon, in July 2021 for US$1.2 billion, DP World (DPW) has announced the release of a new digital logistics solution, dubbed CARGOES Logistics. It is a single-window platform solution which DPW claims enables seamless, safe, secure, and efficient movement of cargo.
Clients are able to choose from various multimodal logistics options, arrange shipment of freight via sea, rail and/or road, obtain instant quotes, get swift booking confirmation and utilise multiple secure payment options in three clearly defined steps of “search, choose and book.”
Phase one of the platform rollout is starting from India to a wide range of different destinations throughout the Mid-East, Indian sub-Continent, Southeast Asia, North Asia and North Africa, while there will be a direct link between the UAE and India.
Ultimately, DP World is planning to offer the new platform on a global basis. Rizwan Soomar, CEO & MD,
Subcontinent, DP World, elaborates: “With CARGOES Logistics, our aim is to build and offer highly efficient, seamless and end-to-end transparent supply chains. The new digital solution will simplify the container shipping experience providing visibility across all modes of transportation through smart enablement of IOT based solutions.”
