DISCWISE - Digital Supply Chains for European Smes Based on the Freightwise Framework |
 |
DiSCwise is a European demonstration action aiming to improve the competitiveness of the transport & logistics sector in Europe, through the smart use of ICT. It seeks to improve the supply chain management in the sector and get stakeholders more connected, in particular smaller sized enterprises, by assisting their integration into efficient co-modal supply chains. This will help smaller enterprises in the transport and logistics sector to connect efficiently with key market actors and thus emerge to global business players. The DiSCwise project aims to Develop, Demonstrate and Deploy a Common Framework for Interoperability in the Transport and Logistics Sector in an effort to: · integrate small and medium sized providers of transport & logistics services into efficient supply chains at affordable cost · enable all transport users, regardless of their dimension, to select environment-friendly alternatives · make European supply chains more efficient by providing state-of-the-art visibility and collaboration capabilities. The DiSCwise project makes use of a Common Framework for ICT in Transport & Logistics. The ‘Common Framework’ enables interoperability in co-modal transportation. It consists of roles, business processes, ontology and messages to support interoperability in the domains of logistics demand & supply, supply chain security & compliance, and cooperative traffic management systems. |

Added value for SMEs DiSCwise proposes to improve the integration of small and medium sized transport & logistics service providers into efficient digital supply chains, allowing clients to make more informed choices regarding the planning and execution of transport & logistics services. Co-modality is made easy-to-use for SMEs by enabling them to plan and execute door-to-door transport chains in which multiple services are being combined. Briefly speaking, the platform verified in Discwise will allow seamless booking and management of services, by providing advanced communication means among shippers, freight forwarders and logistic service providers (LSPs) throughout the logistic transport chain. |
