Hellmann concludes framework agreement with appliLog
The full-service provider Hellmann Worldwide Logistics has concluded a framework agreement with the software developer appliLog to further expand combined transport globally through software-supported supply chain management.
The aim is to reduce carbon dioxide emissions, particularly in automotive logistics, by increasingly shifting transport units from road to rail.
Procurement logistics in the automotive sector requires reliable just-in-time delivery of components, which requires optimal coordination of the logistical sub-processes. The "CapriComPlete" software makes it possible to combine individual single logistics solutions in a single transport management system and thus map the entire supply chain in one system. According to the company, "CapriComPlete" offers seamless transparency along the entire supply chain and maps road, rail and sea transportation in real time. In addition, status messages and reports provide all the information needed to intervene immediately in the event of deviations and ensure seamless just-in-time procurement logistics.
Hellmann has been testing the software as part of a pilot project for the procurement logistics of a major German car manufacturer since April 2019. By using "CapriComPlete" and the resulting intelligent combination of modes of transport, up to 80 trucks are shifted to rail every day. Based on the successful testing of the software in Germany, a contract extension has now been signed so that the software can be rolled out globally at Hellmann from 2021.
"Sustainability has always been a particular focus at Hellmann and our goal is to increase the use of rail transportation worldwide," says Dirk Baerbock, Head of Multimodal Solutions Europe, Hellmann Worldwide Logistics. "By using the Green IT software from appliLog GmbH, we can offer our automotive customers intermodal transport solutions and at the same time sustainably reduce the CO2 footprint - across national borders."
