The European transport and logistics sector is one of the key business sectors in Europe, performing millions of operations and involving thousands of companies every day. Assuring the integration of these operations is a cornerstone of EU policy and a basis for the competitiveness of these companies. The absence of common processes, a common language and common standards for interoperability is a key obstacle to achieving integration. Moreover, any supporting technology to be applied should be highly reliable, accessible and low cost.

The DiSCwise project aims to Develop, Demonstrate and Deploy a Common Framework for Interoperability in the Transport and Logistics Sector in an effort to:

• Integrate small and medium sized providers of transport & logistics services into efficient supply chains at affordable cost.
• Enable all transport users, regardless of their dimension, to select environment-friendly alternatives.
• Make European supply chains more efficient by providing state-of-the-art visibility and collaboration capabilities
