Case Study: Supporting China-ASEAN Information Harbor’s (CAIH) quest in building a global shipping network through CALISTA

Overview

CAIH is a Guangxi-based information hub and information industrial base serving Southwest China and Central South China, as well as ASEAN countries. It is a state-controlled info-tech platform for network infrastructure, economic and trade service, information sharing for building a close China-ASEAN community, and supports the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI).

CAIH tapped on CALISTA to provide customized solutions with unlimited API connectivity as it continues its expansion in the shipping industry.

What was CAIH looking for?

Predominantly a single-window trade compliance platform, CAIH has been in collaboration with CALISTA to provide global Customs connectivity to local companies. In its role for BRI and the New International Land-Sea Trade Corridor, CAIH was looking for a partner with deep domain knowledge of trade facilitation and an international logistics and customs partners network, that could support their expansion globally.

Why choose CALISTA book & track?

CALISTA took CAIH’s quest to build a global shipping network several steps forward. It provided CAIH with a stable, efficient and visible cross-border supply chain solution. They have access to over 90 leading carriers and more than 60 custom nodes worldwide. With the increase in service offerings and capabilities, CAIH now offers their users in Guangxi and beyond, a seamless logistics booking experience as a value-added service that complements their single window platform.
