Shipping intelligence platforms Xeneta and eeSea have joined forces to enhance visibility into pro-forma transit times, marking a significant development in the logistics industry. This partnership will integrate eeSea’s scheduling intelligence with Xeneta’s robust ocean and airfreight rate data, providing a comprehensive view of shipping performance for shippers, freight forwarders, and carriers.
By incorporating port-to-port transit times within Xeneta’s platform, users will gain access to vital scheduling intel that connects transit times with fluctuations in freight rates. This integration aims to enhance visibility into the dynamics between pro forma transit times and ocean freight rates, allowing stakeholders to make more informed decisions.
Key benefits of this collaboration include:
– Introduction of Port-to-Port Transit Times: Users will now have access to essential transit time data directly within Xeneta’s platform, facilitating better logistical planning.
– Pro Forma Transit Times at Port Pair/Carrier Level: This feature enables users to evaluate transit times based on specific port pairs and carriers, improving decision-making processes.
– Enhanced Visibility: The partnership aims to provide clearer insights into how pro forma transit times influence ocean freight rates.
– Improved Accuracy: With better data, shippers can predict transit times more accurately and understand their impact on freight costs.
Thorsten Diephaus, Vice President of Strategic Alliances at Xeneta, emphasised the importance of connecting transit times with pricing, stating, “Incorporating eeSea’s pro forma and real-time transit time data into Xeneta will enable our customers to make more informed decisions.”
Simon Sundboell, CEO of eeSea, expressed excitement about the partnership, noting that enhanced transit times and schedule reliability are critical for selecting carrier partners. This collaboration empowers cargo owners and logistics providers to make smarter choices throughout the shipping process, driving towards a more efficient and transparent global shipping ecosystem.
