INTTRA, an e-commerce platform for the ocean freight industry, has announced that DHL Global Forwarding has joined the INTTRA eInvoice initiative.
DHL Global Forwarding is expected to work with INTTRA in completing a project analysis for the implementation of INTTRA eInvoice solution with a view to becoming both a pilot and eInvoice customer.
INTTRA eInvoice, is an electronic invoicing, dispute resolution and payment processing solution that would enable freight forwarders with the potential to more efficiently receive, process and pay carrier invoices, as well as cut average transaction processing costs by more than half.
Andreas Krueger, vice president, head of global ocean freight operations - quality & compliance at DHL Global Forwarding DHL Management (Switzerland), said: "We welcome this initiative from INTTRA. There is a need for a more streamlined, cost effective and environmentally conscious invoicing process for the ocean shipping industry."
John DeBenedette, SVP of commercial at INTTRA, said: "We are delighted DHL Global Forwarding is participating in this program. There are an estimated 50 million invoice transactions processed a year for ocean shipping. Electronic invoicing not only saves time and money but digitization of invoices within the ocean freight industry could preserve 75,000 trees per year, contributing to climate protection and reducing carbon footprint."
