Exciting updates in Metro technology: What’s coming in 2025

At Metro, we’re continuously working to improve the tools and technology that support your supply chain operations.

Over the past year, we made significant updates to our platforms, including MVT, our proprietary supply chain management platform, and CuDoS, our automated customs brokerage tool powered by machine learning and AI.

Looking ahead to 2025, we’re introducing new applications and enhancing existing ones to help you better manage your processes, gain deeper insights, and streamline operations.

New Applications Launching in 2025
We’re excited to announce the development of several new applications designed to make your supply chain operations more efficient and transparent:

– Invoicing Application
– Shipment Booking Application
– Digital Customer Tariff Application
– Reporting & Analytics Application
– Online Quoting Application

Invoicing Application
Managing invoices and accounts receivable shouldn’t be a burden. That’s why we’re introducing an Invoicing Application to simplify these processes for both Metro and our customers.

Key Features:
– On-demand access to digital invoices and credit notes
– Real-time tracking of invoice status (paid, outstanding, or overdue)
– Dashboards offering spend insights by period and currency

Next Steps:
We’ll begin BETA testing in February, with a full rollout planned by the end of Q1. This application is designed to make invoicing easier and give you greater visibility into your financial interactions with us.

Enhancements to Existing Tools
In addition to launching new applications, we’re committed to improving the tools you already use, such as Track and Trace, CuDoS, and DCM. We’ve adopted a more agile approach to product updates, ensuring frequent releases that bring:

– New functionality based on customer feedback
– Improved user interfaces for a more intuitive experience
– Compatibility and accessibility enhancements

You’ll notice these updates rolling out throughout the year, making the tools you rely on even more effective and user-friendly.

Redesigned Purchase Order Management
One of the biggest changes in 2025 is the launch of our redesigned Purchase Order Management Application. This upgrade is tailored to the unique needs of each customer, offering features that simplify and enhance your supply chain processes.

We’re coordinating the migration of over 700 suppliers and thousands of users across 25+ countries to the new platform. To ensure a smooth transition, we’ll provide training and support every step of the way.

Supporting Your Supply Chain Success
These updates reflect our commitment to building technology solutions that provide you with the visibility and control you need to manage your supply chain efficiently. Whether it’s through new applications, regular enhancements to existing tools, or tailored solutions, we’re here to support your business goals.
