Logistics software provider OneStop has announced a partnership with port community systems provider PortConnect of New Zealand.
In a joint statement, the company indicated it they are collaborating as they have similar missions to modernise supply chain operations by maximising the benefits of using data while also eradicating manual bottlenecks.
“Despite the wealth of available data, the industry currently faces fragmentation and disconnected data points, resulting in missed opportunities for synergy and operational efficiency… Our shared goal is to create a unified, harmonious data-ecosystem that fosters collaboration, transparency, efficiency, and operational excellence,” the companies said.
The companies hope to develop and deliver accurate, real-time, visibility into the movement of freight across the Australian and New Zealand supply chain through data-driven automation, closing connectivity gaps, and enhanced efficiency.
The companies’ first initiative will be to focus on enhancing transparency surrounding empty container park events in the New Zealand market. The OneStop Modal integration will allow supply chain participants to access real-time visibility via the PortConnect Track and Trace and B2B platforms.
Chris Harnett, Chief Customer Officer at OneStop, said, “signing this data partnership with PortConnect is a major milestone in both companies’ data expansion and market investments. This partnership represents years of positive engagement and collaboration with PortConnect, with the specific focus on solving visibility challenges in the Oceania supply chain. Through this partnership, together we have been able to power operational efficiencies while enhancing existing technology to include added functionality required to create the most real-time and accurate data set across Australia and New Zealand.”
