Real-time visibility of shipments offers benefits not only to shippers, but also to logistics service providers
In a strategic move to better serve European companies with visibility services, Sixfold today announces that it is strengthening its presence in Central and Eastern Europe.
"The past weeks of the Coronavirus pandemic have shown how significant disruptions can affect supply chains. Factors such as the volatile situation at the borders, government interventions such as relaxing drivers' hours regulation, and decreased transport capacity is impacting our supply chains. Real-time visibility of shipments has become more important than ever before to react faster to daily challenges," says Wolfgang Wörner, CEO at Sixfold.
Volkert Gasche, Head of Sales at Sixfold adds: "Increasing our presence demonstrates Sixfold's position of being the visibility platform-of-choice in European transportation markets and having a local presence wherever possible supports that position."
Luc Hegeman will manage Benelux countries. His professional career spans sales and business development roles in the transport and logistics industry.
Christian Wicht fronts the Düsseldorf location and will focus on serving logistics services providers. He has served in various sales positions over the years, notably with Transporeon and BluJay solutions. Sixfold is the exclusive real-time visibility provider for the Transporeon supply chain network
Marek Siuda takes responsibility for Eastern Europe. He joins Sixfold after various sales roles over the past 15 years including selling telematics systems from Qualcomm, Visirun and Webfleet Solutions (TomTom Business Solutions) and will be based in Warsaw, Poland.
