Exhilarating success and outlines on collaboration with Chalmers University of Technology

Exciting things are happening here at NTEX. Lately we have been able to read in numerous media channels about our success within the business areas of sea and air, where our market shares have increased drastically.

Earlier this week I was also reached by the news that one of our dispatchers in the sea and air department received a beautiful bouquet of flowers sent to them from a satisfied customer. It’s always nice when these things happen, because it’s a clear evidence that we are doing things right when investing in high accessibility, service and flexibility.

Another pleasing fact is that the entire company continues to increase in the number of postal items and cargos. Behind this increase are satisfied customers in need of more help, in combination with hard work from the sales organization when finding new customers.

In other news, we are currently looking on a possible collaboration with Chalmers University of Technology, which might lead to a simpler way of sharing information and connecting processes. For NTEX, this specifically means data collection in the terminal in order facilitate the later stages of the supply chain, e.g. customs clearance.

At the moment an application is being formulated, which will be sent to the EU shortly. If the project happens, which we will know by spring, it will span over three years.

We are working with lecturer Per-Olof Arnäs from Chalmers, who is researching the digitalization of the transport industry. He also runs the podcast Logistikpodden, where several people in our industry are regularly interviewed (logistikpodden.se).
