Maersk, an integrated transport and logistics company, has tied up with digital trucking marketplace solutions startup BlackBuck to provide an online marketplace for containerised trucking in export-import (EXIM) logistics space in India.
Due to many intermediaries, the EXIM containerised trucking space is fragmented in India.
Maersk has partnered with Blackbuck to solve this problem, and wants it to be a single price point, supply and demand discovery platform for truckers, importers and exporters.
The partnership also amplifies Maersk’s efforts towards accelerating innovation in the logistics space, enabling trade and supporting the vision of becoming the global integrator of container logistics.
Maersk and BlackBuck are looking to address key industry challenges together around demand-supply visibility, real-time tracking, and improving asset utilisation by creating better network visibility for customers.
The new platform will be owned and operated by BlackBuck with Maersk supporting the former to develop compelling industry specific solutions.
The platform will be open to the whole industry and will empower sustainable growth and efficiency by reducing touchpoints in the supply chain, thereby improving customer experience, matching demand-supply through the year, and provide consistency in service delivery through real-time visibility and control.
