Digitisation and innovation are cornerstones of the CMA CGM Group’s strategy to provide an end-to-end offer tailored to the customers’ needs. TradeLens and its commitment to open standards and open governance is a key platform to help usher in this digital transformation.

With TradeLens, CMA CGM offers an innovative digital freight management tool to expand supply chain visibility and secure data sharing. TradeLens subscribers have the possibility to retrieve booking information, visibility on their container tracking as well as B/L data for all the CMA CGM group carriers. The cooperation will soon be extended to provide booking requests and shipping instructions capabilities as well as an electronic version of the bill of lading.
