Transport & Logistics Data Exchange Solutions

Address pressing global challenges, decarbonation and sustainability objectives with accelerated data circulation

The richness of strategic assets to power an entire data ecosystem

For many years, Transportation and Logistics services have been pioneers in leveraging data. Tracing goods throughout the value chain of stakeholders and partners, in a multi-regulation world, demands accurate granular metrics, analytics and monitoring...

Road, rail, maritime and air transports & logistics stakeholders have a direct and significant impact on the global economy as they strive to provide global, secure, sustainable and efficient logistics and supply chain services while reducing delivery times, complying with environmental regulations, tailoring operational services, and increasing customers satisfaction with real time information.

Boost your organization’s competitiveness with data exchange

To address these challenges, Transport and Logistics companies including warehousing, freight providers and fleet management players, have already deployed innovative technologies, such as IoT, sensors, mobile network optimization, blockchain, analytics and machine learning. Airport data, maritime traffic data, railroad data, shipping data, cargo data and fleet data are samples of the vast amount of industry data generated. These data could be used to build comprehensive and performant logistics services if exchanged between partners, subsidiaries, manufacturers, or within the ecosystem.

By capitalizing on the full potential of data and facilitating their access, transportation and logistics stakeholders accelerate their digitization to improve operational efficiency and productivity, mitigate risks, develop innovative services, meet decarbonation objectives and generate new revenue streams. Data Exchange Platform solutions enable organizations to create data ecosystems based on data marketplaces and data hubs that meet regulatory requirements, address traceability and security challenges. Stakeholders of the whole ecosystem can therefore distribute or share data products, in trust, for any business case.
