SWORD (Schenker Worldwide Online Realtime Data Network)
The range of information technology at DB Schenker International encompasses a whole spectrum of specific applications for completely different types of freight and logistics projects, which is integrated into the worldwide data network SWORD (Schenker's Worldwide Online Realtime Data Network). This system is the basis for cross- border communication from computer to computer. Our systems are developed and maintained centrally and deployed regionally or at the country level. Our SWORD network achieves tight integration between the various worldwide systems.
EDI (Electronic Data Interchange) Exchanging Order Data with our Customers
The future of data interchange and customer proximity by way of interfaces is being increasingly shaped by international communications standards. To further increase the benefits drawn by the customer, data transfers are fully processed based on the UN EDIFACT (Electronic Data Interchange for Administration, Commerce and Transport) standard. Using this platform gives DB Schenker the ability to meet its customers' individual needs as well as the market's future demands.
Freight Data Processing Systems
DB Schenker International processes all transactions using the SWORD global data infrastructure. An efficient combination of powerful software packages serves for gathering, processing and passing on all relevant information in accordance with the type of transport order and the service required.
Our standard Air and Ocean Freight system provides this capability by combining an event based architecture enabling event recording at the shipment and order line with the ability to capture our customers' reference numbers. Events serve as milestones and enable us to measure performance.
