The challenge

Managing a large fleet without long-term contracts presented daily challenges

Time-consuming load bookings and processing information from shippers were major hurdles. In this dynamic and ever-evolving industry, Ritex Logistics needed an innovative solution that would help them manage their logistics processes with precision and flexibility.

 

The solution

Ritex Logistics turned to Transporeon’s Transport Assignment solutions to address their operational challenges

This powerful tool optimises freight assignments on a global scale, using three innovative solutions. The solution that best suited Ritex Logistics was Best Carrier, which simplifies the spot-buying process.
This facilitated quick assessments, enabling the company to respond promptly to prevent disruptions in production lines. The integration of GPS transmitters on trucks, connected to the Transporeon Visibility Hub, further enhanced overall transport visibility.

The results

The implementation of Best Carrier yielded significant and tangible results for Ritex Logistics

The most notable outcome was the huge time savings achieved throughout their operational processes. The system introduced transparency and operational clarity, empowering Ritex to:

  • Act immediately on assigned loads

  • Allocate resources effectively

  • Eliminate wasted time on the road, or in the office

  • Make informed decisions, fast

  • Deliver exceptional service to its partners
