GEODIS, Hapag-Lloyd Integrate on Pricing Tool

[ September 25, 2025   //   ]

GEODIS and Hapag-Lloyd launched a real-time Contract Application Programing Interface (API) that directly connects the ocean carrier ‘s pricing platform to GEODIS’ global rate database.
This new integration delivers instant access to about 75 percent more rates than before, cutting processing time from up to five days to instant while improving responsiveness and efficiency across the supply chain, the two companies said.

At the core of the collaboration is a contract API, a direct, system-to-system digital connection between Hapag-Lloyd’s pricing platform and GEODIS’ global rate database. This interface enables the fully automated and real-time transmission of contracted rates, surcharges, transit times, and service options.

Due to this new integration, GEODIS now benefits from instant access to over 75 percent more Hapag-Lloyd rates than before, significantly reducing manual input and improving operational accuracy. The transition from a processing time of up to five days to instant rate availability marks a major improvement in responsiveness and efficiency across the supply chain.

“This implementation is more than a technical success: it demonstrates how digital collaboration benefits our customers,” said Jan Naumann, head of export trade Europe, global ocean freight at GEODIS. “We provide them with faster and more accurate data flows, as well as smoother operations, while enhancing our efficiency and responsiveness. It also reflects our shared ambition with Hapag-Lloyd to develop smarter, faster, and more transparent logistics processes through digital innovation.”

Arne Zass, director digital transformation and automation at Hapag-Lloyd, credited the GEODIS team for their fast execution, expertise, and visionary approach to digitalization.”
