Maersk has announced it will provide Pak Elektron Limited with its SCM (Supply Chain Management) solution.
Maersk Pakistan stated it has collaborated with Pak Elektron Limited (PEL), Pakistan’s local manufacturer of home appliances and electrical equipment, to study their global supply chain and designed a Supply Chain Management (SCM) solution that would offer end-to-end visibility of cargo through its journey and ensure accountability with multiple stakeholders.
This solution aims to increase visibility, reliability and efficiencies for PEL, while strengthening control over its supply chain. Its end-to-end SCM solution involves origin management, visibility and reporting and destination management. This aims to allow PEL to automatically gain upstream and downstream visibility and control, visibility and reduction of inefficiencies’ related costs, control of additional costs such as D&D (detention and demurrage), storage, along with the ability to drive decision-making through Maersk’s dashboards. Through the SCM solution, Maersk also solved some of PEL’s pain points around cashflow and administration, according to the company.
“At PEL, we believe to excel in providing engineering goods and services through continuous improvement. SCM providers are plenty, but with Maersk, we get to operate within a strongly established network that covers end-to-end logistics as well. We are looking forward to a close and strategic partnership with Maersk going forward and building more on the success of this SCM solution”, said Manzar Hassan, Chief Financial Officer of PEL
“We are in the business of integrated container logistics with a mission to simplify our customers’ supply chains. We want to provide complete logistics solutions to our customers so that they can focus on their core business. The SCM solution for PEL is a step in this direction and we are looking forward to playing a role in the successful growth of our customer”, said Aruna Hussain, Managing Director, Maersk Pakistan.
