Circle enthusiastically
announces, in collaboration with C.I.S.Co. (Centro Internazionale Studi Containers) and under
the patronage of Bureau International des Containers BIC (C.I.S.Co. represents its National
Registration Organisation in Italy), the launch of an innovative project promoting the adoption
of the BoxTech platform in Italy: an initiative aimed at digitalising and centralising container
data management, for more efficient, secure and transparent logistics.
BoxTech is a free and neutral platform developed by BIC, which enables container owners to
upload the technical details of their devices. Through this platform, mandatory data such as
tare weight, gross maximum weight (GVW) and other essential information is easily accessible
not only by the owners, but also by all supply chain actors such as shippers, customs, terminals
and hauliers. BoxTech is therefore a global, centralised repository that helps improve
communication and operational efficiency.
The platform, compliant with the 4S standard, safety, security, sustainability, therefore offers
a single source of quick and reliable access to all container-related information, thus reducing
the time and effort required to search for data from multiple disparate sources. In addition,
BoxTech facilitates compliance with VGM (Verified Gross Mass) declaration requirements,
simplifying the management of information required for transport security. The API
technology also enables both the automatic loading of container fleets and the consultation
of data in real time, ensuring a continuous and up-to-date flow of information. Another
important aspect is the ability to easily report if a container has been sold, stolen or lost,
transferring responsibility for any damage or wrongdoing to the new owners or responsible
operators.
In this way, BoxTech not only increases operational efficiency, but also helps to improve
security and transparency in container management, making the platform an indispensable
tool for all actors involved in logistics. The BoxEu project marks an important step in the
introduction and adoption of the BoxTech platform on a national level by undertaking a
‘bottom-up’ deployment operation, directly involving the contact persons of companies
managing container fleets.
