Ligentia's customers will benefit from real-time ocean
freight data, enhanced visibility and the tools to manage by
exception, optimise decision-making, and maximise on-time
performance.
LONDON, May 23, 2024
/PRNewswire/ -- Ligentia, a leading global supply chain management
company, has partnered with Windward (LSE: WNWD), the leading
Maritime AI™ company, to realise greater operational efficiency.
Windward's Ocean Freight Visibility solution will now be integrated
within the Ligentix supply chain portal, providing a real-time
understanding of vessel schedules and arrivals, deviations and
risks, empowering teams and customers to manage by exception. The
partnership means that Ligentia and its customers will have more
accurate information to make business critical supply chain
decisions and adapt to critical events.
Recent disruption highlights the need for reliable
data
The latest spate of ocean freight disruptions, largely stemming
from the decision to cease merchant shipping in the Red Sea
following merchant ship attacks by Houthi Rebels, have once again
highlighted the need for reliable data. Between October and March,
carrier transit times ballooned from an average of 34 days to 46
days, and over the same period on-time reliability has plummeted
from 44% down to a mere 10%.
The integration of Windward's AI-powered solution into the
Ligentix Supply Chain Platform will provide Ligentia and its
customers with a clear understanding of notable milestones and
delays, including late departures and late or missed transshipments
empowering them to manage by exception and react to extraordinary
events. Ligentia will also be able to access Windward's data and
insights to more accurately analyse carrier performance and
optimise their planning accordingly.
Chief Technology Officer at Ligentia, Anthony Plummer says, "At Ligentia, one of our
primary areas of focus is delivering innovative solutions that will
enable our customers to be more successful, and the Windward
partnership is the latest example of this. Data is indicating
that only one in ten container ships is arriving on time right now
and as we approach peak season, predicting the arrival of shipments
is a major challenge. Integrating Windward Maritime AI™ into
Ligentix will provide Ligentia teams and our customers access to
reliable, real-time data, but also tools that will enable enhanced
decision-making leveraging predictive insights to better mitigate
supply chain risk and achieve improved business performance."
"In a period of unprecedented delays and uncertainty, we are
proud to provide Ligentia and their customers with our
game-changing Maritime AI Insights," said Ami Daniel, CEO and Co-Founder of Windward.
"This integration is a reflection of Windward's commitment to
excellence and enabling partners like Ligentia to drive innovation.
AI adoption is the necessary next step to provide stakeholders with
reliable data and insights so they can streamline operations and
achieve greater business success more efficiently."
Windward and Ligentia will be at the upcoming Gartner Supply
Chain Symposium/Xpo in Barcelona,
Spain, on June 10-12 to
discuss the critical role of data in overcoming unique freight
logistics challenges. Don't miss the session on June 11 at 11am
CEST.
