Container Repositioning – Container xChange
Container xChange helps our members to find optimized solutions to their everyday container logistics problems: saving effort, costs, and reducing CO2 emissions. Container xChange provides global visibility across 2500 locations and an ever increasing network of partners. Processes in container logistics today are an inefficient leftover of the high-profit era of the past — when growth and topline was everything, while operations mostly relied on manual processes and excel sheets.
Container xChange brings you both collaboration and digitization:
Container xChange’s online platform for one-way container moves makes it simple and efficient to use or supply 3rd party container equipment on one-way basis. And because xChange is a neutral platform —not a broker— they enjoy the trust of all participants and put you in direct contact with the relevant users and suppliers. Finally, xChange harmonizes contracts, automates container tracking and provides instant release references. Everything couples with seamless online communication and integrated container insurance for added security. This way, our members retain full control over their business.
