The company also had to manage the transshipment of a wide range of goods in public warehouses, ensuring that all incoming goods were correctly classified and managed based on their product characteristics and risks. Additionally, they required a solution for the administration of multi-mode transport by plane, train, motor vehicle, and ship, including storage. Another significant challenge was the easy sharing of data and documents throughout the supply chain despite different systems and formats.
