Project Overview

The Logistics Shipping & Transportation website is an online tool created in order to make the process of transporting goods through the European community easier.

Customers will be able to choose what goods they want to transport, provide further details about the shipment, pick up source and destination and request their needs from shipping providers. After getting all of the bids from the providers, the customer will be able to choose his preferable carrier for transportation.

Business Challenges

1. Complex Shipping of Diverse Products

Shipping different products requires multiple communications with shipping companies and manual coordination. Customers wanted an easy way of communicating their needs and searching for an appropriate carrier.

2. Difficulties of Finding Appropriate Shipping Companies

Customers sometimes have to contact multiple logistics companies in order to find an appropriate one which could ship the order. It is necessary to have a central platform which would unite customers with logistics companies based on their needs in shipping.

3. Manual Price Discussions & Quotes

Traditionally, logistics systems are based on manual price negotiations and quote requests. Such approach complicates the process of choosing an appropriate provider.

4. Lack of Information About the Shipment

Logistics company requires detailed information about products, item, origin and destination of the shipment to make a bid. The platform should have a convenient way for customers to enter all the details regarding their shipments.

5. Disconnection Between Customer and Shipping Company Communication

It is complicated to manage shipment requests and bids of various logistics companies via separate communication channels. Centralized system of requests and bids is required.

Our Solutions

In order to address the problems with manually requesting shipments, discovering providers, and managing quotations, we have built a centralized Logistics Shipping & Transportation Platform. The platform enables customers to send shipment requests while at the same time giving shipping providers an opportunity to review and bid on these requests.

Through the integration of goods categorization, shipment information, sources and destinations selection, bidding by shipping providers, and assigning the shipment, the platform provides a structured approach to the logistics process.

Simplify Shipment Requests

The customer will be able to choose the type of goods they wish to transport, supply additional information and determine the sources and destination locations. In doing so, shipping providers will get an insight into the requirements for each particular transportation.

Enable Competitive Provider Bidding

Shipping providers will be able to review the list of transportation requests and bid on them. Customers will evaluate the offers and award the shipment to the chosen provider.
