DB Schenker Innovates with Infor
Global logistics provider DB Schenker has extended its investment in Infor technology. DB Schenker’s 15-year technology partnership consists of access to Infor Nexus Purchase Order Management and Infor Nexus Control Center as part of a program to help deliver an industry-leading, end-to-end predictive estimated time of arrival (ETA) capability for customers. Per the press release, DB Schenker has already reported better predictive ETA accuracy compared to using carrier GPS-tracking data alone. Trials amongst early-adopter customers have reported industry-leading levels of reliability when predicting the date of goods arrival at final destination, from the point of the original purchase order being raised. Mark Illidge, Infor vice-president and general manager for supply chain in EMEA, says of the partnership, “As one of the first global logistics leaders on the Infor Nexus platform, DB Schenker has a history of innovation and collaborative partnership with Infor. The ability to develop truly industry-leading predictive ETAs is yet another example of this partnership in action.”
