4flow works together with Shippeo, the European market leader for end-to-end real-time supply chain visibility, to offer innovative services to customers from the retail and fast-moving consumer goods (FMCG) sectors. For example, possible delays at destinations are identified early on, so that planned time slots can be directly rebooked or canceled to avoid extra costs and long waiting times. In the event of target temperature fluctuations, a thorough examination of goods can be arranged before a shipment arrives or another delivery is initiated. Other options for using real-time information include processing cost claims or adjusting transit times. In order to enable quick and flexible reactions to transportation disruptions, 4flow implements alternative action measures together with its customers.
Felix Kaemmerer, vice president at 4flow, sums up the advantages this offers: “Real-time transparency opens up new possibilities for our customers to increase network performance and reduce costs".
