CMA CGM Group launches first real-time container tracking mobile application

Marseilles : The CMA CGM Group has announced the launch of its first mobile application, offering a follow-up solution and real-time data on a container’s position, upcoming vessel departures and other services.

The application is available on the App Store and Google Play in five languages (English, French, Spanish, German and Chinese). Users will be able to follow loading operations, search for routes or consult vessel schedules.

After CMA CGM announced its investment last February in the start-up TRAXENS, which specialises in container geolocation, the Group is now pursuing its digital development with the launch of its first mobile application, stressed a release.

Around 34 per cent of phone calls from clients are to obtain information about a container’s position. This new mobile application will, therefore, save time and offer instant information, the release highlighted.

Other functionalities such as an "Eco calculator" will soon complete the application, allowing clients to exactly know the carbon footprint their container produces, the release pointed out.

"The launching of this mobile application is only the beginning of a vast technological innovation programme by CMA CGM," said Mr Elie Zeenny, Senior Vice-President, Group IT Systems.
