On 27 October the go-ahead was given for a new era to begin at Transworld Cargo - document management solution lobodms entered production in a ceremonious atmosphere.
Background: Before the introduction of lobodms, Transworld only had paper filing. It was difficult to enable consistent client documentation across the four sites (Walvis Bay and Windhoek in Namibia, Johannesburg in South Africa, and Gaborone in Botswana.
With lobodms, all the data for a client, including complete documentation of the individual shipping orders, are accessible in a client file, and can be put together from different sources. The documents thus come from sources such as the interface to the CargoWise One freight forwarding software solution, mailing systems, and the local customs system. Moreover, thanks to lobodms, not only has the ability to provide information been significantly improved, but the internal costs of filing and searching for documents have also been reduced.
AKQUINET was involved in this project to round out the overall Know-How by providing deep CargoWise One Knowledge and industry Know-How. To enable the data transfer from CargoWise One AKQUINET supported the fulfilment of technical requirements. After the technical foundation was laid to enable a trouble-free data transmission, AKQUINET provided intensive assistance during the testing phase to cover all relevant Business Cases within CargoWise One and to ensure an accurate operation.
To achieve a high degree of automation, a concept for an automatic data transmission process within CargoWise One was developed and implemented. The close collaboration be-tween all parties involved in this project, made it possible to develop a connection between CargoWise One and lobodms to fulfil the requirements of Transworld Cargo for transmitting Documents with related operational data into an external archiving system.
