Swiss WorldCargo offers real-time visibility for sensitive shipments

17/11/2016

Swiss WorldCargo allows approved active tracking devices and provides a 24/7 dedicated intervention team for additional customer peace of mind.

The need for timely information and transparency is a key requirement in supply chain logistics, since, despite careful planning, cargo irregularities can occur, such as temperature deviation, misrouting or pilferage.

That is why Swiss WorldCargo now allows the transportation of SWISS-approved active tracking devices (ATDs) as of November 2016. Additionally, Swiss WorldCargo provides a 24/7 dedicated intervention team able to react to any deviation worldwide based on ATD data.

“This service is unique to Swiss WorldCargo customers as it offers the transparency of real-time information and an intervention team which can influence transportation quality in real-time. Fully in line with the GDP and Swiss WorldCargo philosophy, this worldwide initiative will support the overall continuous service improvements required by the forwarders, shippers and the supply chain,” said Alain Guerin, Head of Product, Services and Technology Management.
