Recent challenges in the global supply chain have shown the extent to which a lack of real-time information leads to unsustainable levels of waste, inefficiency, and lost revenue. Kuehne+Nagel and Chorus are collaborating to address these long-standing global supply chain challenges in road logistics. Leveraging Kuehne+Nagel’s over a century of logistics experience and Chorus’s new technologies, both companies have begun developing unique supply chain management solutions.
Stefan Paul, Member of the Management Board of Kuehne+Nagel International AG, responsible for road logistics and sales, comments: – We are focused on developing solutions for some of the most difficult global supply chain problems. Our partnership with Chorus will increase our capabilities to create innovative solutions while enriching the eTrucknow offering. By combining visibility with intelligence, we aim to provide our customers with more accurate, actionable, and data-driven insights into the overall health of their supply chain down to the level of the packaging in which goods are transported.
Chorus is developing new sensor and orchestration technology designed to more precisely determine the location of transported goods and information on where they are needed, their condition, and how they are being used. This technology will be integrated into Kuehne+Nagel’s digital road services platform, eTrucknow, to provide road logistics customers with unique solutions, such as the ability to monitor the location and condition of goods in real-time. The goal of the Kuehne+Nagel and Chorus partnership is to improve the quality of knowledge and insights to create new, additional solutions.
Suresh Vishnubhatla, CEO of Chorus, comments: – Supply chains are the lifeblood of the global economy, but the industry still lacks important tools and accurate observations, leading to waste and inefficiency. Disruptions in systems lead to shortages and the unavailability of critical resources. We are excited to work with Kuehne+Nagel because these challenges cannot be solved alone and require strong strategic partnerships with organizations that possess specialized expertise. Together, we hope these tools will help companies become more sustainable, efficient, and productive.
