Achieving complete end-to-end visibility

03/18/2022 | 5 min

The Transporeon Transportation Management Platform provides you with all the necessary tools to track global shipments across multiple modes from pick-up to delivery.

The Transporeon Transportation Management Platform can provide end-to-end and real-time visibility for complex transports. Using the expertise of Transporeon Visibility Hub, SupplyStack and Logit One, all Transporeon Management Platform users can track individual transports across road, ocean, air and IoT, as well as link complex transport chains together for a single view of their transport progress.

Having a high level of visibility is essential for shippers, carriers and LSPs to better manage their operations. By knowing where a shipment is and when it will get to the end destination, all parties can automate their communications processes, better plan for pick-up and delivery (as well as customs operations), and respond to problems in a proactive way. The Transporeon Transportation Management Platform offers users a place to manage all their transports, regardless of mode, in one place so they are not restricted by partial tracking as a transport moves from road, to rail, to ocean or to air.

As supply chains are becoming increasingly complex, the Transporeon Transportation Management Platform simplifies the process of managing global shipment processes no matter how many different vehicles you need to get from point A to point B.

  • Road

The Transporeon Transportation Management platform has access to a network of over 120,000 carriers which allows for immediate and easy access to reliable real-time information on all road shipments. Our predictive analytics generate the industry-leading ETAs and real-time status information for all FTL and LTL transports, which in turn reduce penalties, downtime and check calls.

  • Ocean

Track shipments based on multi-leg, multi-actor & multi-source data to get total confidence when tracking a container from factory to port to customer. The Transporeon Transportation Management Platform offers industry-leading visibility accuracy by collecting actionable data from Ocean Carriers & Forwarders, Vessel & Satellite AIS-systems, and Port Operators, which is then consolidated, enriched and analyzed to provide users with crucial real-time insights into their container's journey.

  • Air

Real-time visibility for air transports can be tracked in conjunction with your road and ocean transports. On a container or plane level, important milestones and ETAs are generated in real-time with accompanying customs information to bridge visibility gaps between other legs in your shipments journey.

  • IoT

Through strategic partnerships with Tive and Roambee, all Transporeon Transportation Management Platform users can access IoT tracking without any extra integration efforts. This allows you to collect transport data across all modes, regardless of whether the carrier is part of the Transporeon platform, while also supplying valuable additional data on temperature, chock, humidity and movement.

  • Carbon

Carbon Visibility is a value added-service that gives you accurate data in the CO2 emissions of all modal transports. Real-time visibility data, such as the actual route taken, is enriched with primary data, like the vehicle class used, to give precise carbon emissions from each transport. Through the Transporeon Transportation Management Platform, this data can be shared with partners through the value chain to make scope 3 emissions reporting automatic and easy for carriers and shippers alike.
