Thyssenkrupp

The Challenge

On average, the entire thyssenkrupp entity ships about 50,000 TEUs annually from all around the world.

Main shipping lanes are Europe to and from China, Latin America and NAFTA countries (US, Canada and Mexico).

To ensure thyssenkrupp Presta Steering was receiving the best possible rates, it needed a tool for benchmark purposes.

The company had been using a 3PL but the decision was made for a more neutral, transparent solution.

Too much time spent on RFQs (Request For Quotations) and calculations.

Xeneta’s high value to us is its price benchmark solution to steer accurate negotiations.
