Internship at Cross Border Solutions

Internship at Cross Border Solutions

The IPM team wants to create a digital and interative map showing key information about the network partners per country (volume, budget, products, transit times, etc). This requires communication skills, creativity and fluency in English (oral and written).

Wat ga je doen?

The goal of the project is to create a map overview for:

1. Last-mile carriers in Europe (2 parts: active partners and options in the market),
2. Airfreight partners to main destinations, and
3. Last-mile carriers in Rest of the World.

Listed in order of priority. An indicative example in below for Germany regarding point 1) (note: features requirements will change along the project).

This project is closely aligned with the CBS objective to become a more data-driven organization. The internship is planned to take place over a period of 6 months and the required starting date is as soon as possible.

Methodology:
First step is to create the map overview with stationary data.
Secondly is to link the map overview with dynamic data from internal sources and reports (such as the PowerBI) in order to show most up-to-date features (YTD volume, YTD average costs, etc).

Deliverables:
An automated and working interactive European Partner Map (last mile carriers) in PowerBI with the capabilities to easily extend the overview with additional data;
And the same for the Rest of World Partner map and the Airfreight Carriers map.
Benefits of the project:

• To support the company’s vision and colleagues of becoming more data driven;
• Digitalization of procurement resources and working tools;
• Clearer overview of partners and options to support internal evaluation and decision making;
• Helping to centralize vital data/information into one platform (PowerBI);
• Availability to find info/data faster and so work with in in a more efficient way.
