The global logistics and transportation company has also released new software updates for SmartHub:Connect, giving customers shortcuts to buy and process documentation for the shipment of PPE. Tigers is also managing the door-to-door transport of 5m medical masks from Guangzhou in China, to Sydney, Australia.
The masks are travelling on a total of four A33C charter flights operated by China Southern Airlines; the first 1.2m were delivered last week.
“It is important to be able to adapt to a changing landscape and keep freight moving, whatever the challenge,” commented Andrew Jillings, Tigers’ Chief Executive Officer.
“Our technology focus and our investment in SmartHub:Connect means that we are able to offer customers a reliable and tested platform which streamlines purchase orders while interfacing with their entire sales processes.”
The Tigers PPE Portal was launched in the wake of a spike in demand for products to help fight the pandemic. In addition, Tigers’ IT partner Doozee has introduced a new module to its instant quote engine which caters for volumetric traffic, enabling Tigers to provide instant quotes for the shipment of PPE.
