Summary of the context and overall objectives of the project

45HC.com is an online container booking platform, where clients can book their container shipments in less than 60 seconds. Our clients first select the container route, and then the size and quantity of the containers; after this, one carrier is chosen from the list provided, optional insurance is added, and finally they select a customs broker at the destination port. The clients control the whole import process by selecting their preferred carrier, insurance provider and customs clearance agent at the destination. The current response time for logistic companies is around 12 days (from the Freightos “mystery shopper” report) and they demand high commissions. The main benefits for our clients/society are a very short response and booking time, only carrier price rates (without additional margins), a vast selection of different carriers, a multilingual customer desk, and 24/7 availability and visibility of shipments. 45HC.com features a consistent all-encompassing connection which includes agents at both the origin and destination ports, insurance companies, container ship operator companies, and finally the users (SMEs). The 45HC.com system essentially becomes a single point of contact where information is exchanged.

The objectives for the project 45HC.com are:
financial: time and money efficiency
Social: employment opportunities and HR development
Environmental: waste efficient , nature protective ( trees, ....)

Overall objectives are: digitalisation of the logistics sector, process automation, process efficiency (from the order to the deliverable - ˝last mile service˝), price efficient services, a combination of different logistic possibilities to support the client with the ˝last mile service˝).
