7th November 2008 – Guildford, UK
Norfolkline, part of the A.P. Moller-Maersk Group and one of Europe’s leading door-to-door transportation service providers, has chosen Kewill (KWL), a leading provider of software and solutions to simplify global trade and logistics.
Previously, Norfolkline’s in-house technology had supported the management and operation of Norfolkline’s transportation functions. However, this technology has become outdated and grown to a size and complexity that made it hard to develop, maintain and test. The implementation of Kewill Transport will give Norfolkline a future proof transport platform providing increased flexibility and visibility across its logistics operations, which will enable the company to streamline its day-to-day business and improve its customer service.
Having initially looked at a list of 50 vendors and following a thorough shortlisting process and demonstrations from three companies, Kewill was selected. Norfolkline will implement Kewill Transport across a total of 32 sites and 384 users. The software will enable Norfolkline to support its wide ranging business processes, ranging from intermodal operations to non-asset-based third party logistics.

Jacco Schonewille, CIO at Norfolkline, commented, “We needed to invest in new systems as they were at the end of their life. Kewill’s technology stood out because of its functional and technical capabilities. The solution provides a solid foundation to interface and integrate with current and future systems, as well as providing support across the logistics division. The flexibility of the solution will support us as we look to increase efficiency, reduce costs, while enabling us to plan for future growth.
Jacquie Boast, Chief Operating Officer, Europe, at Kewill, commented, “We are committed to delivering operational efficiencies to Norfolkline and providing them with the tools they require to offer increased service to their customers.”
