TRAXENS by CMA CGM: a breakthrough technology
Founded in 2012, the French start-up TRAXENS has been developing unique solutions for the cargo logistics arena and has created an innovative container monitoring and coordination system. The CMA CGM Group was the first company to invest in TRAXENS.
Launched commercially in June 2018, TRAXENS by CMA CGM is a breakthrough technology, enabling end-to-end visibility and supply chain operational excellence on land and at sea. TRAXENS is an electronic high-tech device designed to generate near real-time data and notifications about movement and condition of your cargo at any given point in time, be it:
- Geographic position
- Status in shipping process
- External and internal temperature variation (internal temperature soon available) • Humidity variation (soon available)
- Shocks
- Door opening
How TRAXENS transforms your business
TRAXENS makes your logistics clearer and more efficient, helping you make the right decision on time, like initiating exception management and emergency sourcing plans if needed, or generate cost reductions thanks to global supply chain optimisation.
Optimise your logistics with supply chain analytics
Supply chain analytics delivered by TRAXENS offer a large volume of information to help identify and implement concrete operational improvements:
- Achieve higher cargo quality management with shocks tracking data
- Set up a cargo security strategy by using the door opening notifications
- Identify lead time and operate root cause analysis through an exhaustive report
- Enhance inventory management
- Determine door-to-door key performance indicators per trade by analysing average lead time and idles, and implement decisive improvement actions. Data obtained from TRAXENS helps to comply with processes, supplies decisive data for insurance procedures, allows cargo quality optimisation, eases trade finance, and enhances customs clearance practices as well as cargo security monitoring. Whichever carrier a shipper may use, TRAXENS containers are fully integrated in CMA CGM processes, making the technology a new shipping standard. At the time of booking, upon request, CMA CGM will supply empty containers with TRAXENS technology.
Convenient deployment options
The benefits of TRAXENS by CMA CGM can be tested by first opting for a supply chain diagnostic on a limited scale. The diagnostic will focus on selected trade routes and identify immediate costsavings while assessing the full potential of TRAXENS for the activity. Once you have seen how it works, you can implement it on a larger scale, or choose from the advanced data offer on selected flows.
Thanks to its global coverage, TRAXENS is available at numerous sources for destinations anywhere throughout the world. For more information on TRAXENS by CMA CGM, please visit:
