Riege and Gatehouse Maritime join forces to shift ocean visibility in the digital supply chain to a new level
Meerbusch, Germany / Nørresundby, Denmark, June 2025 – Riege Software, the developer of the Transport Management System (TMS) Scope, is proud to announce a new partnership with Gatehouse Maritime, and their OceanIO division — specialized in container and vessel tracking. This cooperation brings a new level of high-quality, real-time ocean freight visibility into Scope and reinforces both companies’ commitment to delivering excellence through focus, innovation, and genuine partnership.
A Seamless API, A Stronger Connection
From day one, the technical integration process between Scope and OceanIO’s API proved to be not only smooth, but remarkably fast. The reason lies in a shared understanding of what truly matters – clarity, reliability, and value for logistics professionals. Thanks to OceanIO’s clean and well-documented API, container and vessel tracking could be integrated without friction. But the real success lies beyond the code.
“The collaboration with Gatehouse Maritime and OceanIO felt natural from the very beginning. The cultural match was obvious – direct, solution-oriented communication, a shared focus on quality, and the same goal – enabling our customers to operate smarter,” says Tobias Riege, CEO of Riege Software.
Focused Expertise Over Size
Just like Riege and Scope, OceanIO is not trying to be everything for everyone. Instead, the team focuses sharply on ocean freight visibility – and excels at it. This focus enables top-tier data quality, rapid feature development, and the flexibility to adapt to customer needs.
“We don’t believe in going wide. We go deep,” says Kenney S. Christiansen, CEO of Gatehouse Maritime. “Our size is our strength – it lets us work closely with customers and partners, keep our roadmap aligned with real-world needs, and build long-lasting relationships based on trust.”
For Riege, this means more than just a good technical fit. It means having a partner who listens, and cares about delivering lasting value.
Partnership That Feels Genuine
Beyond technology, the partnership between Riege and Gatehouse Maritime thrives on mutual respect and shared values. Both companies prioritize long-term success over short-term wins, and both value the human aspects of doing business in the digital world.
“In the end, the tools are only as good as the teams behind them,” says Tobias Riege. “Working with Gatehouse Maritime feels like working with our own people – eye to eye, aligned in mindset, and committed to quality.”
For the Benefit of Freight Forwarders
With this integration, users of Scope gain direct access to OceanIO’s high-quality data on container and vessel movements, enabling better planning, more transparency, and fewer surprises in ocean freight management – without change of system, with all data available directly in Scope. The cooperation strengthens Riege’s ongoing mission to simplify and streamline logistics through smart digital tools – and supports Gatehouse Maritime’s vision of making ocean visibility smarter and more accessible.
