USA: CSX says it is the first North American railway to join the TradeLens, an open and neutral platform which has been developed by IBM and Maersk with the aim of overcoming supply chain data processing silos to provide improved transparency and shipment-status visibility.
‘Railroads are vital links in the global supply chain, and CSX wants to support all of the ways our customers are seeking greater efficiency and flexibility’, said Mark Wallace, CSX Corp’s Executive Vice-President of Sales & Marketing, on November 1.
‘As our customers move onto TradeLens, we’ll be helping provide them with better end-to-end shipment tracking capability.’
