Maersk Line partners with PORTRIX LOGISTIC SOFTWARE to deliver full spot pricing benefits
Maersk Line, the world’s largest container shipping company, is partnering with PORTRIX LOGISTIC SOFTWARE GmbH (PLS) to integrate spot pricing into PLS’ market leading Global Price Management (GPM) software solution, the company said in its release.
GPM, launched by Hamburg-headquartered PLS in (2010), is the trusted choice of the freight forwarding industry, with 12 of the top 20 global freight forwarders utilising the platform.
