Procureship, a leading e-procurement platform provider, has partnered with German shipping company Oldendorff Carriers to enhance the latter’s procurement operations.

The collaboration will see Oldendorff Carriers leverage Procureship’s technology to streamline purchasing processes, access a wider supplier network, and improve data-driven decision-making.

According to Procureship, the partnership will leverage its e-procurement platform, which utilises automation and Machine Learning, to increase the efficiency of Oldendorff Carriers’ procurement operations, provide access to a greater number of global marine suppliers and service providers and bolster its data-driven decision-making capabilities.

The move comes as Oldendorff Carriers, which operates over 675 bulkers and transports about 380 million tons of bulk cargo annually, continues to drive the sustainability efforts of its fleet of Capesize, Panamax, Supramax, Handysize, and Transshipment vessels to reduce its carbon footprint and cut costs.

Procureship’s platform now supports over 2,000 vessels from more than 80 fleet owners and operators, solidifying its position as a dominant player in the maritime e-procurement market.

“Our latest partnership with Oldendorff Carriers is a testament to the extensive growth Procureship has seen over the past few years. We continue to see more and more vessel owners enhancing their operational capabilities by using the right digital tools and using real-time data to improve their decision-making. Procureship enables shipping companies to improve their procurement models, making processes cheaper, faster, and more secure, as well as improving their sustainability credentials. We’re delighted to welcome Oldendorff Carriers to the Procureship platform and look forward to many years of close collaboration together,” said Grigoris Lamprou, Co-Founder and Chief Executive Officer of Procureship.
