Kraft Foods International has teamed up with inet-logistics to streamline logistical business processes for its European subsidiaries

In order to achieve this, the areas of transportation, freight cost and container management have been optimized across the entire company thanks to inet-logistics.

07/08/2009 In all European national divisions of Kraft Foods, transportation scheduling and load building for all inbound transports, including subsequent order placement with the service provider, have been effected centrally by the logistics-server® since the start of 2008. Freight cost management, which is an integral component of transportation management, then uses the transport data and predefined freight rates to determine the ensuing shipping costs.

The entire process of billing control is conducted via the logistics-server®, likewise any interactive claims against associated service providers. Standardized interfaces support the electronic entry of delivery notes into the Kraft Foods ERP systems. Within the context of the project, the inet solution for container management was also implemented at 100 Kraft Foods locations in 20 European countries.
