DP World’s subsidiaries, Community Network Services (CNS) and SeaRates, have unveiled CNS Enterprise, a revolutionary cloud-based service suite aimed at transforming logistics management. This new platform integrates customs and freight operations with a robust Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) system developed by SeaRates, offering a unified solution for the logistics and freight forwarding industry.
CNS Enterprise is designed to streamline complex logistics workflows by consolidating various functions into a single platform. This includes customs handling, freight forwarding, and financial management, addressing key industry challenges such as cost control and operational efficiency. The suite’s comprehensive functionality extends to managing customs declarations, cross-border movements, customer relationship management (CRM), and account management.
Matthew Bradley, Managing Director of CNS, highlighted the platform’s potential to enhance competitiveness in a volatile market. “We’re delighted to partner with SeaRates ERP to launch CNS Enterprise, which aims to make cargo journeys more seamless and accessible. By integrating our customs declarations and port community systems, we provide our customers with a competitive edge, ensuring a smoother and more manageable supply chain journey,” Bradley remarked.
Ayaz Maqbool, Group Senior Vice President of Digital Product Sales at DP World, emphasised the importance of CNS Enterprise in today’s challenging business environment. “In an era of heightened cost pressure and demand for reliability and speed, CNS Enterprise equips vendors of all sizes with the tools needed to manage cargo transportation from start to finish. This collaboration with CNS represents a significant leap forward in our cloud solutions market, offering a high-quality product that enhances end-to-end supply chain control.”
Set to launch on October 22, CNS Enterprise will offer features such as billing, invoicing, and quotation generation, along with document management, tracking, and direct booking for land, sea, and air freight. Users will benefit from real-time visibility into sailing schedules and freight milestones. This comprehensive suite positions CNS to strengthen its presence in the UK’s supply chain sector and solidify its standing in the cloud solutions market, driving greater efficiency and profitability for logistics businesses.
