The company
P&O Ferrymasters is a leading pan-European specialist that offers numerous customized solutions in the field of transport, logistics and supply chain.

The concept is based on sustainable relationships where P&O Ferrymasters is an integral part of the client’s team. The 3PL and 4PL experts monitor existing processes and lead continuous improvement processes to optimize efficiency.
P&O Ferrymasters has formulated a strategic five-year plan, called Port Centric strategy. Warehousing will be its own core activity again; until recently, warehousing was purchased from partners. P&O Ferrymasters is now broadening its base and in this way generating an additional source of income. Read more in this article: Nieuwsblad Transport.
Port Centric Warehousing
To gain real-time insight into the warehouses, P&O Ferrymasters started looking for a Warehouse Management System. P&O Ferrymasters first compiled a long list and then a short list. They were looking for a low-threshold WMS that can be implemented quickly and that can grow with their operations. Since CORAX is a SaaS product, it can easily be scaled up and down. As the company grows, CORAX keeps the same pace.
