Would you like to know how TRANSPOREON can transform your work and help you communicate even better? Then take a look at this before-and-after comparison:

Before: ten hours on the phone every day

After: more time for what's important

No more time-consuming data transfer, no more duplicated data entry, fewer enquiries and no more ear discomfort from excessive phoning – that's what you can look forward to when you introduce TRANSPOREON. And you will finally have time to devote to the really important things.

Before: too much work, not enough dispatch staff

After: automatic order placement

TRANSPOREON offers a variety of options for placing shipping orders. One of them is the "no-touch order" option, which automatically places your order with a suitable freight carrier based, for example, on contractually stipulated criteria such as freight price or quantity commitments. If the carrier declines, the system finds the next most suitable service provider. This is a much more efficient way to work, and it reduces your dispatch team's workload considerably. What's more, no-touch orders work not just for shipments by road but also for shipments by sea, rail or air.

Before: time-consuming searches to find the best offer

After: the best price at a mouse click

Still comparing carriers' offers by phone? It's a lot of work, isn't it? You'll find it's much easier to place orders using the "best carrier" option: just specify the route online, view the offers you get from your carriers, and click one to select it. A carrier that can avoid dead mileage by taking on your shipment will be able to offer you a better price. It means less work for your dispatch staff, yet you still get the best offer.

Before: fixed contracts and fixed prices without any scope for improvement

After: less dead mileage, better resource utilization, current pricing

Do you work with contracts that don't allow you to switch to day-to-day order placement? The TRANSPOREON Transport Assignment "dynamic contract" option allows you to reduce dead mileage despite contracts and delivers improved capacity utilization for your carrier. It also permits daily market pricing to be used. And with a price corridor and a fulfilment rate it is possible to have dynamic dispatching and flexible transport partnerships.

Before: no direct contact with the driver – either in the yard or on the road

After: vehicle call-off and assignment by SMS text message

TRANSPOREON provides SMS call-off management in order to direct waiting drivers to the correct loading ramp quickly and easily. The SMS functionality replaces expensive yard management systems using pagers. And that's just one of the numerous SMS functions provided by the TRANSPOREON platform. A particularly popular one with owner-drivers is the SMS Transport Assignment functionality. This enables them to receive orders directly on their mobile phone while on the road.

"Thanks to TRANSPOREON Transport Assignment, we were able to increase productivity in the freight assignment process by around 25%."
Muamer Asani, Logistics Development, InBev Deutschland

"In 2006 we decided that an in-house team equipped with the right tool would be the most effective way to handle our international transport activities. Today we use the Transport Assignment no-touch order module and Time Slot Management. But in future we also want to use TRANSPOREON's other e-logistics modules to develop sustainable procurement strategies and reduce dead mileage for the mutual benefit of carriers, Nestlé Purina and the environment."
Martin Robinson – Manager of Transport & Logistics Services, NPPE
