Gil Lehmann, Head of Global Land Transportation for ZIM selected MatchBack
Systems for their inland container movements because of its global approach to
automating container optimization and the mutual focus on sustainability. "We
like the company's inventive technological approach to gain matchback savings
through fewer empty container moves," said Lehmann. "At ZIM, we endorse
innovation and new technological platforms, which we see as vital tools to
promote our strategic values - efficiency and profitability leading to improved
customer service."
A matchback occurs when you reuse containers, pairing an import transport move
with an export transport move inland, resulting in significant savings in time,
costs and emissions.
"ZIM understands and recognizes the compelling business case to automate
matchbacks and has embraced the MatchBack Systems' approach," said Todd
Ericksrud, president & CEO, MatchBack Systems. "We work closely with ZIM to
unlock savings through strategic matchbacks in Europe. ZIM supports MatchBack
Systems' use of big data to analyze, predict, optimize and ultimately automate
the daily workflows to execute the optimal matchbacks. Along with lowering costs
and improving equipment utilization, there's enormous positive environmental
impact when matchbacks are executed, as the eliminated movements reduce harmful
emissions."
