DHL Global Forwarding Japan launches “Web-booking”

Posted by | Jun 16, 2008 | |

DHL Global Forwarding Japan K.K. – the air and ocean freight forwarding arm in Japan of DHL– has launched “Web-booking,” an online booking service for consolidated ocean cargo(LCL).
“Web-booking” realizes easy online searching of schedules for consolidated transport and planned arrival dates for transport bound to any country in the world; this information will also be available for download in PDF and Excel formats in near future.
Completion of the simple online user registration process facilitates future bookings because it eliminates the need to re-input basic information such as company name and address.
Archived customer booking histories means it is not necessary to re-input detailed cargo information if the cargo being shipped is similar to previous export shipments.
Customers can select their vessel according to destination, can check information regarding the vessel’s operational condition, and can confirm its actual departure and arrival times.
A rewards program for frequent users of the “Web-booking” service is planned to be unveiled in the future.
The launch of DHL Global Forwarding’s “Web-booking” service means that customers now can book ocean export shipments and receive accurate information on the departure and arrival of vessels around the clock.
