• mehr

GT Nexus today announced that ZIM Integrated Shipping Services has renewed and expanded upon its agreement with GT Nexus. Increasingly, shippers want their carrier partners to provide advanced IT services like those provided to ZIM by GT Nexus.

ZIM is one of the world’s largest ocean carriers. With offices around the world and a fleet of over 100 vessels, ZIM moves over 2 million TEUs annually between 180 port locations.

“We have been using GT Nexus for many years now,” said Daphna Dvir, division manager, global marketing supporting systems at ZIM. “We consider advanced eCommerce capabilities an essential component of our service to customers, and aim at improving and expanding it significantly.”

“ZIM recognizes that customers consider technology as a vital aspect of their carrier’s service mix,” said John Urban, president of GT Nexus. “With GT Nexus, ZIM customers can use the technology platform that the world’s biggest shippers use to monitor and manage their global supply chains.”

The GT Nexus trade and logistics portal combines two things — strategic business applications and a network of electronically integrated logistics partners. All services are delivered on-demand, over the Web, which allows customers to get up and running quickly, with minimal expense and hassle. Carriers integrate to the portal once, which allows them to support thousands of global customers through a single standardized interface.
