BlueBox integrates into Siemens' logistics platform AX4

BlueBox Systems announced that it has onboarded a new customer and its airfreight tracking data is now integrated into the logistics platform AX4 of Siemens Digital Solutions.

Thus BlueBox Systems now enables more than 500,000 AX4 users a fast and easy access to its high-quality airfreight data from over 130 airlines, resulting in optimized processes.

"Thanks to its integration of BlueBox Systems data, AX4 users can effortlessly combine this with other valuable information. AX4 users thus gain a unique overview and can track their air freight data even better, thanks to the state-of-the-art programming interface of BlueBox Systems. Both applications can communicate independently and exchange data in real-time through the API solution. Everybody involved in the supply chain has access to the latest and most accurate information – like ETA changes or delays. Moreover, this advanced API solution ensures end-to-end data security," reads the release.

Only authorized parties can access and utilize the shared information, safeguarding sensitive cargo details and maintaining the integrity of the supply chain.

"With Siemens Digital Logistics we won another client that trusts our innovative solutions that put the customer first and who has recognized the added value of BlueBox Systems,” says Martin Schulze, CEO of BlueBox Systems. “We share the same goal: making air freight and logistics supply chains more transparent and efficient."

In addition, Martin Schulze emphasized the importance of real-time tracking offered by BlueBox Systems, particularly for time- and temperature-critical cargo for industries with strict requirements, especially pharmaceuticals. He added, “Air freight remains the fastest and most secure means of transporting valuable and critical goods globally. Customers now have everything in view, ensuring their cargo arrives in optimal condition and on time.”

“By partnering with BlueBox Systems, we're able to offer AX4 users greater visibility into their air freight supply chain,” said Volker Albrecht, CEO of Siemens Digital Logistics. “This transparency enables our customers to make better-informed decisions, streamline their processes, and save money.”

Siemens Digital Logistics is a specialist in the digitalization of logistics processes. More than half a million customers around the globe are using the logistics platform AX4. For example, the system offers cross-company integration of all supply chain partners in a central interface, via web or app. It also includes transport management that enables reacting to possible disruptions – all in real-time. The real-time data is another intersection with BlueBox Systems.
