Horizontal Collaboration
◾ Companies of the same business
segment work together
◾ The same or overlapping areas of
responsibility within a logistics
network
◾ Collaboration of market participants
as stronger form of cooperation
◾ Enjoy general benefits of intensified
cooperation like knowledge sharing or
flexible problem solutions
◾ Multiplied expertise

Horizontal data exchange
◾ Market participants share
information:
◾ »normal data«
◾ best practices
◾ processes
◾ software
»Open Source« is applicable to
data, knowledge, software

An Open Data Vision
◾ Collect and prepare data, like:
◾ Departures from hinterland-terminals planned on time at seaport
◾ Open capacities of departures at specific date
◾ Forecasted open capacities at terminals
◾ Closings of units
◾ Using a centrally deployed broker-system
◾ Optimize usage rate of different modes
◾ Optimize modal split

Conclusion
◾ Open Source in logistics is on its way
◾ Sharing data, best practices and software
would lead to »all-over-optimization«
◾ Today intense horizontal
»open data collaboration« is a vision
Not only transnational, but
really border crossing data exchange
