To provide transactional e-commerce services for the carrier's global customers
GT Nexus has been selected by Emirates Shipping Line to provide transactional e-commerce services for the carrier's global customers. The ocean carrier will integrate its back office systems with the portal to enable Web-based paperless business transactions with shipper and forwarder customers around the world.
Romi Kaushal, chief executive officer of Emirates Shipping Line, said: "We selected GT Nexus because they are one of the key technology standards for the ocean industry. This will help us better serve our customers, many of who have already standardized on GT Nexus for ocean freight management."
John Urban, president of GT Nexus, said: "Emirates Shipping Line is committed to helping customers simplify transactions through automation. We welcome them to the growing community of ocean carriers that have standardized on GT Nexus. Our customers place a premium on their carrier's ability to interact with them through technology."
The GT Nexus trade and logistics portal combines two things, the strategic business applications and a network of importers, exporters, carriers, 3PLs, and banks. All capabilities are delivered through the software as a service (SaaS) model, which allows customers to get up and running quickly and cost effectively. Carriers integrate to the GT Nexus portal once and then use that single standardized interface to exchange business information with thousands of global customers.
