“ But of course we ’ ve seen now , with the pandemic and ensuing consequences in the global chain , that a lot can happen . Those who learn about ‘ things happening ’ first are the ones who can react and make a big difference .”
Harnessing the power of data Having data is one thing , but being able to wade through and leverage this data for good is “ absolutely critical ,” says Ingmar .
Hapag-Lloyd had struggled in the past to find user-friendly technology platforms where data was correct , up to date and eliminated duplicate entries . Instead , Craft offers the perfect blend of artificial and human intelligence .
Crucially , Ingmar continues , new starters at Hapag-Lloyd are able to understand the basics of the platform in a matter of minutes .
