The latest agreement provides DB Schenker’s customer base with access to the full range of Infor Nexus cloud technology.

 “The cooperation brings together a strong set of performance, technology, and experience of both companies,” says Joachim Schaut, vice president global intercontinental supply chain solutions at DB Schenker. “As one of the leading logistics providers, we bring our implementation and execution experience of Infor technology to take on the logistics challenges of our customers.

“With this full access, we now offer a full range of operational capabilities and a true end-to-end solution. In advancing the connection between digitalization and physical elements of the supply chain, we offer a unique set of supply chain management skills to the marketplace.”

Joerg Jung, Infor EVP and General Manager, International, said: “Deploying the full range of Infor Nexus technology will deliver huge value to DB Schenker customers. This will help optimize lead times, reduce costs, and improve responses to sudden external influences.

“Our predictive analytics combined with IoT solutions can generate more precise container arrival times as well as real-time updates of shipments. Dashboards offer both supply chain overviews and in-depth data, and control centers monitor bottlenecks while calculating possible demurrage and detention costs. This connection of technology to specific, precise business issues will be a hallmark of our partnership and the results it will deliver.”
