Client case

Lyon Rhône Terminal.

A port community system for Hauts-de-France

Objective achieved thanks to MGI

Located 70 km from the port of Marseille-Fos, Lyon Rhône Terminal manages two terminals handling containerized, RORO, and conventional traffic. To efficiently connect the maritime port to inland logistics platforms, the company chose to adopt MGI’s Ci5 Port Community System.

The goal: promote mass transport, optimize intermodal procedures, and ensure complete traceability of goods. Thanks to Ci5 and the Inland+ module, the many actors in the supply chain benefit from increased visibility, dematerialized processes, and change management support tailored to their needs.
