PJSC TransContainer and PJSC SIBUR Holding are implementing pilot project of Transport Management Systems (TMS) integration. This will allow both companies to arrange unified through process of planning and following-up multimodal cargo transportation. 

PJSC TransContainer has become the first logistics company to establish successful information exchange with SIBUR on all the levels of multimodal transportation. The system’s features make it possible to order both export and Russian domestic railway transportation by creating respective orders with particular dates of rolling stock supply to the house tracks of SIBUR terminals. Besides the processes of applications and orders confirmation and corrections approval (if necessary) are also computerized. 

Thanks to integrated TMS systems SIBUR gets information on the containers and wagons location in the railway network specifying the expected arrival date and TransContainer in its turn receive data on the operations performed with its containers at SIBUR terminals immediately.

The cargo is to be transported over Russia and exported to the South-East Asia (mainly to China). The respective agreement was signed by the companies in April, 2019.
