The startport startup Cargo-Bay was able to win duisport agency GmbH (dpa), a subsidiary of Duisburger Hafen AG (duisport), as its first customer and is developing the digital B2B booking platform for multimodal transport for dpa. Cargo-Bay\u2019s logistics platform not only digitises the otherwise analogue freight handling processes, but also digitally connects other companies, branches and employees across Europe. This ensures an optimal process flow and saves time and costs. <\/em><\/p> Founded in 2015, the logistics startup was accepted into the first batch of startport\u2019s startup programme in 2018 with its innovative booking platform. startport is the innovation platform for logistics and supply chain. During the 12-month startport programme, startport initiated the exchange and the logistics startup was able to win dpa as a customer. \u201cExisting market solutions were not practical and too expensive. That is why we chose the startup Cargo-Bay. The startport team knew dpa\u2019s requirements and was therefore able to set up the project in a targeted way,\u201d explains Gregor Marx, Head of Investments and M&A at duisport. <\/p> <\/p> As part of the collaboration with dpa, Cargo-Bay developed a customised booking platform. This platform was tailored in particular to the multimodal transport processes to and from China, which had previously still been handled in an analogue and very complex way. Via the developed booking platform, customers receive a complete overview of reliable and cost-effective intermodal transport chains in combined transport. Processing transport orders is now also more efficient, enabling faster delivery to the customer. Feedback on the collaboration is positive: the startup implemented individual requirements in an agile and fast manner, and communication was on an equal footing. <\/p> <\/p> The collaboration was only made possible by the startport innovation platform. \u201cWithout startport, we would not have secured dpa\u2019s contract. High praise\u2014I would definitely recommend the programme,\u201d says Max Dering, CEO and founder of Cargo-Bay. \u201cEven as an alumnus, I still feel like part of startport.\u201d Networking via startport also ensured a positive customer relationship: \u201cThe connection to startport makes the cooperation more pleasant,\u201d says Max Dering. \u201cWe realised that we are not a typical service provider, but actually belong to the duisport family.\u201d Through the collaboration with dpa, the startup gained visibility and positive media coverage and also attracted the attention of other companies. <\/p> <\/p>Digitising transport processes at dpa <\/strong><\/h3>
