SINGAPORE's PSA Corporation and the Container Depot and Logistics Association (CDAS) have launched "SmartBooking" - an integrated one-stop booking platform for container depots, terminals, hauliers and logistics facilities across Singapore.
"By bringing players across the supply chain to a single platform, PSA connects the port, depots, warehouses and plants, driving interoperability and strengthening Singapore as a logistics hub," said Seow Hwee, PSA cargo solutions chief for southeast Asia.
Supported by Enterprise Singapore (ESG), Infocomm Media Development Authority (IMDA) and Smart Nation and Digital Government Office (SNDGO), this initiative will play a major role in Singapore's logistics ecosystem digitisation roadmap, and is part of the National Artificial Intelligence (AI) Strategy to facilitate data exchange and enable the deployment of AI solutions, said the press release.
Developed by PSA, SmartBooking is an online service platform which supports digitsation efforts by seamlessly connecting stakeholders across the supply chain and logistics value chain in Singapore.
Through the single end-to-end platform, users gain higher visibility of the entire logistics flow, obtaining easy access to information such as vessel schedules, container movement events and planned activities.
SmartBooking allows processes to be further streamlined, with the optimisation of assets and resources, leading to a more efficient logistics ecosystem and an overall reduction in carbon footprint.
Said CDAS deputy president Ricky Loo: "Our local container depot operators and transport operators look forward to embracing new and innovative solutions like 2 SmartBooking and iBOX, which will not only improve our efficiency and the competitiveness of Singapore."
Said ESG deputy CEO Ted Tan: "ESG is pleased to work with PSA and CDAS to support the sector's adoption of digital solutions such as SmartBooking and iBOX to enhance Singapore's logistics ecosystem."
