Sixfold, Europe’s leading provider of real-time predictive visibility of shipments across the supply chain, today announces that the WEIG Group has become the latest customer to join its fast-expanding secure data visibility network. WEIG Group, a major supplier of carton board, printed folding carton and plasterboard liner, chose Sixfold to support its new “Driven by Care” initiative for real-time visibility of customer shipments.
WEIG seeks to increase customer service to gain competitive advantage and drive significant improvements in its internal processes with Sixfold’s real-time visibility platform.
“Real-time visibility of shipments will enable WEIG’s customers to better manage their daily operations and be pre-informed of critical delivery status details of their shipments,” says Roland Rex, Head of Customer Focus and Business Development, WEIG Karton. “With the Sixfold platform, we can drive significant internal efficiencies by streamlining the loading process with ETA information directly linked with our time management system.
