Customer feedback: Metsä Board / Anna-Leena Grönqvist: “Kouvola Cargo Handling is always very aware of digital issues and has constantly developed its own processes and services”.
Efficient logistics is supported by efficient information systems. If there is a way a software can make logistics handling easier for our customers or if it can improve our own services, we will go for it. We have e.g. built integrations with customers’ IT-systems and developed an automated check-in and loading call-out system for drivers. An online tallying system utilized the documentation of Asian container trains. That shortens train turnaround times and allows a large amount of data to be processed in a short time. We deal with Customs electronically in all customs procedures, which enables smooth transactions and customs clearance at all borders. The ISO 9001 quality system is the backbone of our operations and a great tool for continuous improvement of services.
