platform to improve customer service by proactively informing WEIG customers of
shipment delivery status
Sixfold, Europe’s
leading provider of real-time predictive visibility of shipments across the
supply chain, today announces that the WEIG Group has
become the latest customer to join its fast-expanding secure data visibility
network. WEIG Group, a major supplier of carton board, printed folding carton
and plasterboard liner, chose Sixfold to support its new “Driven by Care”
initiative for real-time visibility of customer shipments.
WEIG seeks to increase customer service
to gain competitive advantage and drive significant improvements in its
internal processes with Sixfold’s real-time visibility platform.
"Real-time visibility of shipments
will enable WEIG’s customers to better manage their daily operations and be
pre-informed of critical delivery status details of their shipments,” says
Roland Rex, Head of Customer Focus and Business Development, WEIG Karton. “With
the Sixfold platform, we can drive significant internal efficiencies by
streamlining the loading process with ETA information directly linked with our
time management system. The automatic delivery tool of the platform will also
trigger the automatic carrier payment process.”
“Automation of WEIG’s mundane,
time-consuming and repetitive tasks enabled by the Sixfold visibility platform
will deliver substantial cost savings and drive greater efficiencies through
process improvements and digitization,” adds Wolfgang Woerner, Sixfold’s CEO.
“The seamless integration of Sixfold with its existing transport management
system will ensure the fastest time to value possible.”
