CONTRACTED ASSIGNMENT (NO-TOUCH ORDER)

Execute contracted freight seamlessly 

Up to 90% of transports are currently still being handled manually via telephone, email and even fax. Manually assigning the transports under the best possible conditions is very time-consuming and requires a huge amount of work.

With No-Touch Order, you can automatically transfer transports to your contracted carriers with just one click. Make use of intelligent transport allocation rules for your routing guide to quickly determine available capacities and jump on the dynamic spot market whenever necessary.  Increase your process efficiency with the available extra modules like real time visibility, surcharge management, and transport documents management.

  • Assign transports to contracted carriers with just one click
  • Automate transport allocation and price calculation
  • Reduce process costs by up to 30%
  • Simple and fast integration
SPOT ASSIGNMENT (BEST CARRIER)

Leverage Available Capacity

Allocating transports on the spot market requires an enormous manual effort since many carriers need to be contacted individually, most often by telephone or e-mail.

With Best Carrier, you can receive available spot shipments from across your entire network in one place. Share your spot request with your trusted network with one single click and let incoming offers arrive automatically. Make efficient use of the available loading space in your network and significantly reduce costs. Best Carrier enables you to actively utilize empty kilometers with no additional effort.

  • Highly automated transport allocations
  • Rapid response to freight market fluctuations
  • Transport costs savings of up to 10%
  • Reduction of empty runs by up to 13%
AI SPOT ASSIGNMENT (AUTONOMOUS PROCUREMENT)

Next Level Spot Buying

Welcome to a new era of spot buying.

Autonomous procurement redefines the spot process and uses AI and behavioral science to bring advanced optimization into the freight sourcing process. Transform your spot buying processes from manual to fully automated, with our no-touch order process.

Instead of asking for bids, science-based spot offers are sent to carriers, massively speeding up acceptance with an instant matching walk-away price. Artificial Intelligence and optimization is leveraged to help teams with tasks that are better left to machines, while humans maintain control and can focus on the tasks that matter most.

  • Up to 12% reduction of buying rates, using your trusted carrier base
  • Improve back-end office processes and productivity rates of your planner team
  • Gain insights into market behavior and trends and become a more strategic spot freight buyer
