The Rhenus Group, a leading global logistics service provider, has enhanced and released its fourth generation of Fênix, Rhenus Brazil’s Transportation Management System (TMS). The web-based integrated solution is designed to meet shippers’ needs for air and ocean freight services and offers simplified features that optimize the day-to-day import and export operations. The system maximizes clients’ personnel resources and ensures the company’s competitiveness of their pricing in the market.
“Fênix is an exclusive tool for Rhenus Brazil customers. The idea behind our TMS system is to give customers full visibility and traceability throughout the entire shipping process, all the way down to the item level,” said Paul Schabbel, managing director of Rhenus Brazil. “This cloud-based solution will allow customers to focus on their own operation and plan their supply chain with accuracy based on real time information provided by Fênix.”
Fênix enables customers’ total control over the entire import and export shipments processes, starting when the customer places their order until the arrival of the goods at the final destination.
The following features are included in the Fenix System:
- Statistics Module – fully integrated performance dashboard
- Track & Trace down to line-item level
- Logistics costs up to arrival including tax and duties on single line-item level

- Two-way communication – Multiple user (color ID per milestone, user responsibility) access to update data
- Purchase order Management Module – For control and performance indication of suppliers and pending orders follow-up
- Invoice Control Module – Which enables clients to verify invoices before shipment, issue OK for shipment authorization and follow-up

- Brazil “Nota fiscal” Module – Logistics costs identification
