ZIM lands Ladingo
The Haifa-based carrier ZIM that recently teamed up with alibaba.com, has introduced Ladingo’s technology which is expected to improve logistics services to both sellers and buyers on China’s largest e-commerce platform.
The improvements include tools that can help buyers find the right suppliers using reviews, transaction history, and also trade assurance buyer protection coverage.
ZIM has been targeting the e commerce sector by making strategic investments in companies that aim to streamline B2B & B2C cross-border logistics.
One of ZIM’s investments, initially made back in 2019, was in the Israeli logistics startup Ladingo, which developed a technology combining optimisation of cargo and routes, while enabling taxes automation as well as E2E shipment management, for small and medium importers eager to focus on increasing revenue and decreasing shipping costs.
The system can be used by both sellers and buyers. Its shipping rate includes taxes and duties, and all customs clearance is taken care of by Ladingo. (cd)
