There are plans to roll it out in other countries in the near future. 

“With myGW, we have created a digital platform through which we can provide our customers with real-time information about their flow of goods – for land transports, air and sea freight, and warehouse logistics. Not only does this ensure a maximum degree of transparency but also facilitates the flow of information throughout the entire supply chain,” says Wolfram Senger-Weiss, CEO of Gebrüder Weiss. “myGW also enables our customers to provide their own customers with information about the exact status of their consignments at all times. A huge advantage.” 

During the development phase, particular emphasis was placed on ensuring usability, which means that we worked closely with customers. “Thanks to the support provided by our pilot customers, we have been able to hone the new portal to the needs of our users. Now that the pilot phase has been concluded, the portal can be used immediately by all users in a full and unrestricted way,” adds Wolfgang Brunner, Project Manager of the myGW customer portal. “myGW is intuitively designed, with customer feedback showing that the portal is very easy to use and understand. The resulting time savings represent an additional added value.”
