Pain Points in CATL's International Logistics Operations

Pain Points

CATL’s international logistics faces several operational challenges. First, inefficiencies arise from disconnected internal and external information flows, leading to poor coordination across departments and partners. Additionally, the complexity of order scheduling adds to operational delays. Another challenge is the lack of standardized transport execution solutions across different clients and business models. Customs clearance and inspection coordination is another area requiring streamlined tracking and document management. Finally, the absence of real-time visibility throughout the order life cycle complicates planning, execution, and cost control, while the lack of data-driven insights hinders operational optimization.
