Kuehne + Nagel launches digital solution for booking LCL services

Kuehne + Nagel is launching a new digital solution for quotations/booking of LCL services. LCL (Less-than-Container Load) is an important segment of Kuehne + Nagel’s sea freight business.

Using KN FreightNet for LCL, customers can obtain quotes for import and export shipments online within seconds and can place orders faster than ever. No pre-registration is needed since the platform is publicly accessible.

Quotations are based on simple shipment details such as place of origin, final destination, weight and volume. Users receive a clearly structured overview of the all-inclusive door-to-door price including all

applicable surcharges, as well as the estimated transit time. At this point a booking can be made or the offer, valid for 30 days, can be saved for later use. Users can also, with the KN Login iPhone App, determine the status and transportation details of the LCL shipment while the shipment is in transit.

"We are proud to be the pioneer in our industry to make LCL quotations and bookings as easy as possible for our customers," said Otto Schacht, Executive Vice President Sea Logistics. "The speed and simplicity of KN FreightNet for LCL are the key elements of this innovative digital solution. Even highly complex door-to-door requests are calculated in seconds."
