ABOUTXENETA

At Xeneta we believe there is an untapped potential for everyone in the industry, to systematically learn from our individual and collective efforts. We hold true that "if you cannot measure it, you cannot improve it". That’s why we think actionable metrics is the key to continuously evolve for every business, and ultimately the entire industry. Rethinking global logistics is the vision of Xeneta.

With international experience from the logistics industry, we have first-hand knowledge of the challenges related to high volatility and lack of transparency in the ocean freight market. By combining logistics background and information technology expertise, we found the solution to these challenges.

IT DOESN’T TAKE MUCH TO SEE AND EXPERIENCE THE RAPID ADVANCEMENT OF TECHNOLOGY IN THE WORLD. PERSONAL TECHNOLOGIES ARE GETTING SMALLER, SMARTER, AND OVERALL MORE EFFICIENT BUT THAT’S NOT TO SAY THAT TECHNOLOGICAL ADVANCEMENT IS STOPPING AT CONSUMER LEVEL. FAR FROM IT.

A REPORT RECENTLY RELEASED BY A RESEARCH AND ADVISORY FIRM HIGHLIGHTS A NUMBER OF THE TECHNOLOGICAL CHANGES THAT THE FREIGHT INDUSTRY IS UNDERGOING CURRENTLY.

TECHNOLOGY FOR THE FREIGHT INDUSTRY IS GETTING A RATHER

SERIOUS OVERHAUL, ENCOMPASSING MANY DIFFERENT

LEVELS OF THE INDUSTRY.

SMART CONTAINERS

CONTAINERS HAVE ALWAYS BEEN THE CRUX OF THE OCEAN FREIGHT INDUSTRY, THE CORNERSTONE FOR THE OPERATION. YET FROM THEIR CREATION, WE’VE YET TO SEE MANY, IF ANY, CHANGES TO THE BASIC STEEL BOX.

RECENTLY A NUMBER OF INNOVATORS AND STARTUPS ARE CHANGING THE WAY WE LOOK AT CONTAINERS. STAXXON AND HOLLAND, FOR EXAMPLE ARE TAKING IT A STEP FURTHER AND REEXAMINING THE CONTAINER ITSELF.

THEY ARE LOOKING AT A COLLAPSIBLE CONTAINER WHICH, WHEN EMPTIED, CAN BE COLLAPSED TO SAVE SPACE IN THE EVENT OF AN EMPTY RETURN. THAT'S PRETTY NEAT, IF YOU ASK ME.

THE INTERNET OF THINGS

THE INTERNET OF THINGS (IOT) IS ALLOWING FOR A VERITABLE NETWORK CREATED NOT FROM COMPUTERS AS WE KNOW THEM, BUT OF THINGS, LIKE CONTAINERS, PALLETS, AND EQUIPMENT.

IMBEDDED WITH AN ARRAY OF SENSORS AND TRACKING TECHNOLOGY SUCH AS GPS AND RFID CHIPS, “THINGS” ALLOW MANUFACTURERS, CARRIERS, AND SHIPPERS TO MONITOR TEMPERATURE, VIBRATION, LOSSES AND LOCATION OF THEIR CARGO MORE ACCURATELY.

BETTER DATA: SMARTER MOVES

WHILE THE PHYSICAL TECHNOLOGY IS PROGRESSING BY LEAPS AND BOUNDS, SO TOO IS THE INFORMATION AVAILABLE FOR LOGISTICS.

WITH BETTER TRACKING AND MORE INFORMATION WITH EACH CONTAINER, LOGISTICS DECISION MAKERS ARE ABLE TO GET A CLEARER VIEW OF THEIR SUPPLY CHAIN, FROM FRONT TO BACK.

THIS LEVEL OF TRANSPARENCY NOT ONLY MEANS A HIGHER DEGREE OF CUSTOMER SERVICE, BUT ALSO ALLOWS FOR OPTIMIZATION OF THE SUPPLY CHAIN, CUTTING AWAY NASTY SNARLS, TANGLES, AND SNARES THAT WOULD OTHERWISE SLOW THE OPERATION DOWN.

MORE COMPUTING POWER MEANS MORE CONTROL

3PLS, CARRIERS, SHIPPING MARKETPLACES, LOGISTICS

TECHNOLOGY COMPANIES ARE ALL TAKING ADVANTAGE OF BETTER

COMPUTING PROCESSES, OFFERING SHIPPERS A WIDE ARRAY OF DIGITAL TOOLS WHICH ALLOWS THEM A WIDE

DEGREE OF CONTROL OVER THEIR SUPPLY CHAIN.

IMBEDDED WITH AN ARRAY OF SENSORS AND TRACKING TECHNOLOGY SUCH AS GPS AND RFID CHIPS, “THINGS” ALLOW MANUFACTURERS, CARRIERS, AND SHIPPERS TO MONITOR TEMPERATURE, VIBRATION, LOSSES AND LOCATION OF THEIR CARGO MORE ACCURATELY.

GETTING ACCURATE FREIGHT QUOTES, BOOKING THE SHIPMENT, ESTABLISHING

CONTRACTS, AND INITIATING THE PROCESS CAN BE COMPLEX AND TIME-CONSUMING

WITHOUT AN INTEGRATED PROVIDER. TRANSPORTECA AND VERITREAD LLC

PEOPLE COMPARE RATES.

WHILE THE FREIGHT INDUSTRY HAS BEEN RATHER SLOW TO CHANGE IT’S WAYS, CHANGE IS COMING. AS THE NEW TECHNOLOGY BEGINS TO TAKE HOLD, WE’LL SOON SEE A COMPLETE OVERHAUL IN THE WAY COMPANIES VIEW LOGISTICS AND FREIGHT MANAGEMENT.

IT'S NOT ALL ROSES FOR EVERYONE

THOUGH I AM A TECHNOLOGY LOVER AND FEEL THAT TECH CAN HELP ALL INDUSTRIES ADVANCE GREATLY, I DO REALIZE THAT ALL DON'T AGREE THAT TECH WILL DISRUPT OR CHANGE OUR INDUSTRY.

MANY FEEL THAT IT IS JUST AN ENABLER AND THAT HUMAN SERVICE IS WHAT MAKES THE DIFFERENCE.

COUPLED WITH TECH, WE CAN FOR SURE CHANGE THE INDUSTRY TO SOMETHING MUCH BETTER. WE JUST NEED AN OPEN MIND.
