New Digital Freight Forwarder Aims to Simplify Shipping
4th April 2017
Damco, global provider of freight forwarding and supply chain management services, has announced the launch of the start-up Twill, a digital freight forwarder designed to simplify shipping with the customer at the helm.
The solution enables customers to book, manage and monitor shipments online at the click of a button, focusing on four key features:
– Instant quotation
– Integrated document handling
– Milestone transparency
– Proactive exception management
Initially focused on managing ocean shipments within the China to UK trade lane, the company will grow by adding more shipping routes and products over the coming months.
Troels Stovring, CEO of Twill Logistics, said: “We understand that not everyone is a shipping expert. Twill is designed to keep the booking process of freight as simple as possible. We’re taking an agile approach, developing a product for the customer with their needs as the core of everything we do. We are confident that this will simplify shipping significantly and create a great customer experience.”
Twill has until now been in a closed test phase with a select number of customers. From 10 April 2017 the platform will be openly available to the UK market. The company is attending Multimodal 2017 on 4-6 April, exhibiting the platform.
