Pinpools and TankContainerFinder.com integrate platform functionalities
German company Pinpools and Dutch company TankContainerFinder.com (TCF), both founded in 2017, have created digital platforms to improve the chemicals and tank container business.
While TCF operates as a logistics partner for tank containers, Pinpools offers a marketplace for suppliers and purchasers of chemicals throughout Europe. Both companies have now entered into a collaboration and will combine certain functionalities of their platforms.
More time-efficient solutions through digitisation
The traditional purchasing process is changing due to the new digital capabilities that provide access to more time-efficient solutions. TCF’s focus is on strengthening transparency, visibility and collaboration within the supply chain to create a digitally optimised process and ecosystem. On the platform, Pinpools offers neutral and transparent auctions that reduce procurement costs for buyers and represent a new digital distribution channel for suppliers.
Reduction of empty stock transfers and surpluses
Sustainability also plays an important role in both the logistics and chemical industries. With TCF’s services, users can reduce empty stock transfers and optimise liquid goods logistics. Using the Pinpools marketplace, suppliers can find solutions to reduce their surpluses of chemical products.
