Stolt joins INTTRA,
Infor Nexus networks
S
tolt Tank Containers (STC) has become the
fi rst tank container operator to join the
INTTRA by E2open (INTTRA) & Infor Nexus
networks.
INTTRA is the largest neutral network at the
centre of the ocean carrier industry and the
platform gives customers the option of making
bookings and tracking shipments online. Infor
Nexus is one of the world’s leading cloud-based
networks for multi-enterprise supply chains. The
network connects businesses to their entire supply
chain — from suppliers and manufacturers, to
brokers, transporters, and banks.
STC president Mike Kramer made the
announcement at the transport logistic trade fair
in Munich, staged in June.
STC says its mission has always been to make
shipping bulk liquids as easy and convenient as
possible. Central to this is a desire to look for new
and innovative ways to help customers be
successful in effi ciently managing their supply
chains.
“We found that our customers have a need for
new, non-traditional and more digital ways of
placing and managing their shipments,”
commented Mark Bertens, director marketing,
pricing and optimization at STC. “We want them
to connect with us through the channels they
prefer and to offer them the most convenient
service possible.
“INTTRA is the shipping industry’s largest neutral
network. Many of our customers are already
connected directly to the platform, or are
connected via one of INTTRA’s many technology
partners. For us, it makes sense for the INTTRA

The connection with INTTRA makes it possible to place electronic bookings with STC via INTTRA’s web-based portal
platform to be one option we want to offer our
customers to simplify their interactions with STC.”
The new connection with INTTRA makes it
possible to place electronic bookings with STC via
INTTRA’s web-based portal, and via the INTTRA
system-to-system integrations. Customers can
view their bookings, check the status of
shipments, get track and trace information, and
opt to receive booking confi rmations electronically.
For customers working with multiple suppliers
via INTTRA, it also means the information on their
bookings with STC will be visible in the same
location as the information from other suppliers.
This allows for an easier overview and more
effi cient management of their shipments.
If they have their own systems connected to
INTTRA, they will have the additional benefi t of
less manual work as all updates will come into
their system directly.
Together with the availability in the Infor Nexus
network STC now offers a broad choice for
customers to book their shipments. Whether a
customer already uses one of these networks or
wants to start using them, STC now offers service

through these networks regardless of customer
preference.
“At STC, we already use the INTTRA platform to
manage bookings with our own suppliers,” added
Shane Robertson, principal business analyst at STC
business applications. “We’ve experienced the
benefi ts of digitising our supplier booking
management using INTTRA, and we’re confi dent
our customers will enjoy these same benefi ts,
regardless of network of choice, when using the
platform to manage their bookings with STC.”
