4PL Central Station & Sun Chemical
Transport management via AX4 is the SCM solution with more design options and transparency
The 4PL Central Station Group worked with AXIT to configure a web-based SCM solution for the transport management of Sun Chemical, the leading global manufacturer of printing inks and pigments. The goal is to ensure complete control of the various activities throughout the value chain.
The transport management system (TMS) relies on the logistics IT platform AX4 to centrally manage some 220,000 shipments a year, connecting some 38 facilities in a supply chain now spanning ten countries. The system gives Sun Chemical and the 4PL provider the utmost transparency and end-to-end control of the entire value chain.
„The better the value chain is organized, the more competitive a company is. As a 4PL service provider, we place great value in being able to manage the flexible, cross-enterprise integration of our customers and transport partners into the supply chain at any time.”
Alexander Bauer, Chairman 4PL Central Station Group, Basel
