digital multimodal corridor
Join the logistics digitalization
New real-time multimodal concept to coordinate all stakeholders involved
Digital MULTIMODAL Logistics Corridor
What is a Digital Logistics Corridor?
A Digital Logistics Corridor is the articulation of a shipment from origin to destination related to transportation, information flows, communications and commercial practices in digital format. In the case of logistics activity, it is used to indicate that the documentation linked to a shipment of goods is done digitally, in a digital ecosystem where the different actors involved in the chain of transport and document management related to the transport of goods are brought together electronically.

Proof of Concept
Digital Air Corridor
Up to 12 players were involved in this first digital air corridor, with DB Schenker as the freight forwarder and Air Europa Cargo as the carrier. The Usyncro collaborative platform provided Blockchain technology to share documentation linked to the goods, incorporating the criteria of immutability, transparency and security in the shared documentation. This initiative was made possible thanks to the coordination of MADCargo Lab, the air cargo analysis and study area of Foro MadCargo.
