CEVA will standardize and simplify global operational processes with integrated logistics execution platform CargoWise
This major investment will accelerate companywide digitalization as part of CEVA Logistics’ IMPACT 2020 plan.
Marseille, France 7 September 2020, CEVA Logistics, part of the CMA CGM Group, a world leader in transport and logistics, has commenced the rollout of CargoWise, the integrated logistics execution platform. With this strategic investment, CEVA Logistics will simplify and standardize all 3PL operational processes across its global network. CargoWise will be implemented over the course of the next five years, as part of a planned process, replacing multiple legacy systems and delivering greater efficiency within the business.
Improving operational efficiency
The switch to CargoWise will enable CEVA Logistics teams around the globe to have real-time visibility of freight forwarding and Customs actions on a single platform. As a purpose-built solution, Cargowise gives employees access to the same information in a single database across all functions, offices, countries and languages, furthering the CEVA Logistics digital transformation.
By the end of 2022, 50% of all CEVA Logistics locations will be fully operational on the CargoWise platform with the whole project completed and deployed by 2025.
A companywide digitalization
The move to CargoWise is a key part of CEVA Logistics’ IMPACT 2020 plan which aims to both grow the business and improve operational efficiency. Other recent investments as part of that plan include the purchase of a majority stake in AMI Manica in Africa and the launch of the MyCEVA platform for customers.
Says CEVA Logistics’ CEO, Mathieu Friedberg, “By implementing CargoWise, CEVA Logistics will further improve productivity and efficiency as we strive to lead the way in multi-modal forwarding and contract logistics operations. Thanks to its experience across the transport and logistics sector, CargoWise is the right choice to provide this new digital platform.
