New Contract API Enables Instant Access to Over 75% More Rates, Cutting Processing Time from Days to Seconds
GEODIS, a global leader in transport and logistics, and Hapag-Lloyd, one of the world’s leading container shipping companies, have announced a significant milestone in their joint digital integration with the deployment of a real-time solution for integrating their rates. The collaboration is aimed at accelerating and securing the exchange of critical rates and service data between the two organizations.
At the core of this integration is a Contract API (Application Programming Interface)—a direct, system-to-system digital connection between Hapag-Lloyd’s pricing platform and GEODIS’ global rate database. This interface allows for the fully automated and instant transmission of contracted rates, surcharges, transit times, and service options.
Thanks to this new digital connection, GEODIS now benefits from instant access to over 75% more Hapag-Lloyd rates than before, which significantly reduces manual input and improves operational accuracy. The transition from a processing time of up to five days to instantaneous rate availability marks a major improvement in responsiveness and efficiency across the supply chain.
Jan Naumann, Head of Export Trade Europe, Global Ocean Freight at GEODIS, commented that this implementation is more than a technical success, as it demonstrates how digital collaboration benefits their customers by providing faster and more accurate data flows and smoother operations. Arne Zass, Director Digital Transformation & Automation at Hapag-Lloyd, praised the GEODIS team for their outstanding collaboration, noting that their fast execution and visionary approach have set a new standard for seamless connectivity and customer experience in advancing innovative logistics solutions together.
