Customer Testimonials

"When we started with INTTRA, our goal was to help set a standard in the ocean shipping industry that created one point of electronic entry for all ocean-freight transactions," said Wohlers. "In the past, we had multiple points of entry, with different connections to each individual carrier. This meant we had different processes and different data standards between the various parties, all of which led to errors and enormous inefficiencies."
-- Joachim Wohlers, Vice President of Global Sea Freight Systems

Kuehne & Nagel
"Kuehne & Nagel officials continually work hard to promote customer satisfaction by providing shipping data visibility throughout the course of a shipment. Their adoption of INTTRA's e-commerce tools and services follows the logical progression of a shipment through the supply chain."
-- Joachim Wohlers, Kuehne & Nagel

"Kuehne + Nagel started with INTTRA's electronic sailing schedule. The next phase was electronic booking - INTTRA's eBooking tool - followed by electronic shipping instructions and Bills of Lading (Bs/L). And finally, of course, you want to know what's going to happen to your cargo, so we deployed INTTRA's electronic Track & Trace Information tool."
-- Joachim Wohlers, Kuehne & Nagel

"Now we have set standards for electronic entry with a number of carriers and other users participating in the INTTRA network. And our data quality is growing, which is a major competitive benefit for us. Quality and communication is always a challenge when managing with 24,000 employees and thousands of customers."
-- Joachim Wohlers Kuehne & Nagel

"Since integrating with INTTRA our shipment processes are better.  We see improvements in the turnaround time and data quality of our documentation.  Fewer revisions are necessary now, and that saves us time and money."
-- Eric Wu, Vice President, Casa China

"A global leader in integrated paper, packaging and forest products with a worldwide market in the production of publication and fine papers, Stora Enso selected INTTRA's I-Link system-to-system connection because the volumes the company was dealing with made this type of link more viable than a Web-based solution,"
-- Anna Wilhelmsson, Supervisor and Coordinator of the Stora Enso Infologistic Service Support Team

"In looking to enhance electronic transactions with its carriers, Stora Enso recognized that INTTRA was the system to which the carriers were connected,"
-- Anna Wilhelmsson, Supervisor and Coordinator of the Stora Enso Infologistic Service Support Team

"Between its mills and its carriers worldwide, Stora Enso has a complex supply chain.  Different carriers needed to use different interfaces. The idea was to minimize the workload and streamline as many of the processes as possible.  During the integration period, systems and processes have been aligned - with, for example, changes to internal coding and keyboard alterations made to reflect different national languages - to allow for seamless communication between Stora Enso's transport and distribution centers and its carriers."
-- Anna Wilhelmsson, Supervisor and Coordinator of the Stora Enso Infologistic Service Support Team

"The new system has greatly reduced the time it takes to issue booking requests and shipping instructions, ultimately delivering cost savings to Stora Enso. Now you don't have to sit and wait when the person that you need to speak to is on the line. You just send the booking. So you get more shipments done a day and you have more time to deal with the bigger issues."
-- Anna Wilhelmsson, Supervisor and Coordinator of the Stora Enso Infologistic Service Support Team

"We've achieved the benefit of a seamless process where the mills are the first line of  information. They know what to enter. This data is then in the system from the beginning, so it won't have to be retyped. That will reduce a lot of problems."

"Stora Enso still moves mountains but saves money and improves efficiency"
-- Lloyd's List

"The company wanted to improve its communications with carriers and reduce errors caused by manual inputting. Data volumes the company was generating made I-Link more viable than a simple web-based solution, since it enabled the connection of the supply chain to Inttra's multi-carrier network via one connection."

"Inttra's development has been strengthened by the fact that it is owned and operated by the industry itself, rather than by a third-party investor. By doing this, we could make longer-term decisions by pursuing systems development and enhancements without consideration to short-term returns."
-- Jorgen Engell, head of finance at Maersk and chairman of Inttra
