Movis International

Movis selected Alcatel-Lucent Enterprise products because a trust relationship was already established with the vendor and partner API S&S, who would also work closely with Movis in providing after-sales service support.

  • Country: Ivory Coast
  • Industry: Transportation, Ports and Logistics
  • Solution: Data Center

Movis International was established as a joint venture between the Geodis group's African operations, and the port logistics operator Sivom, itself based in the Gulf of Guinea since 1973.

Movis aims to connect African markets to international trade more efficiently, relying upon direct access to the Geodis network, which spans over 120 countries. The Ivory Coast subsidiary works very closely with the Abidjan port and covers five core business activities: logging, transportation, transit, storage, and express mail. The value of the solution was also a factor in the decision-making process, with Alcatel-Lucent Enterprise products proving to be the best proposal.
