Ocean Network Express deploys CargoWise for automated digital rate transfer

Global ocean carrier One Network Express (ONE) has selected WiseTech’s CargoWise solution to rollout the automated digital transfer of contract rates and global tariffs to its customers.

The digital connection allows ONE to share fully digital, confidential contracted rates and published global tariff surcharges with clients using a standardised CargoWise rates structure and API, which enables faster and easier shipment booking.

“We are delighted with the fully digital integration which we can now offer to customers of ONE and CargoWise,” said Sundeep Sibal, Senior Vice President of Global Commercial and Service Management at ONE.

“Offering a live connection between ONE and CargoWise allows us to deliver a rapid, accurate, and complete picture to our shared customers that will ultimately lead to long-term efficiencies and cost reductions,” Sibal said.

He continued that the direct connection demonstrates their firm commitment to digitalisation and innovation to support customers.

According to WiseTech, the launch of fully digital, real-time feeds will be progressive and cover all major global trade lanes as it expands to other CargoWise clients and product family users.

“ONE has been working with us for years now on digital booking and tracking messaging,” said Ashley Skaanild, Regional VP – Logistics Data & Connectivity at WiseTech Global.

“In an industry dominated by spreadsheets and costly data and error prone rekeying of information, ONE has shown real technology and business leadership in progressing their digital connectivity to rates, to help our shared customers connect securely and reliably in real-time,” he said.

“We continued to work hard to link, automate and digitise ocean carriers and to remove vast amounts of manual work that create cost, inaccuracy and delay in sales, operations, and finance functions.”

The CargoWise digital adaptors are designed to provide standardised, easy to implement connections for ocean carriers to deliver schedules, contract rates, spot and dynamic pricing, ebooking, tracking and invoice management.
