New Platform Released by Cargobase to Improve the Spot-Freight Sector
The new platform that has been released by Cargobase in order to improve the spot-freight sector has now added Parcel freight into their platform. With the introduction of this extra feature, Cargobase has become the first platform for users to be able to manage any type of spot-buy freight. The Spot-buy freight sector has been known for being expensive, with companies charging significantly more than usual freight arrangements. Cargobase developed a platform that allowed a user to create a more competitive environment within the spot-freight sector as well as allow users to better manage their shipments. Spot-freight is classed as a freight service that lays outside any other regular and pre-planned shipments. Normally these services are more expensive and then connected to poor management that can jeopardise supply chains. Therefore the creation of Cargobase is a way of bringing the cost down and allowing for users to compare quotes and access companies that have better reputations. With the demand for spot-freight increasing, the new online platform will allow users to more effectively manage their transactions. The new addition to the platform for Parcel freight means that the users will now be able to connect seamlessly with big brand names such as FedEx, DHL Express and UPS as well as having the ability to schedule freight with pre-agreed rates. The new platform will also allow for the creation of labels that can be directly linked to the Cargobase platform in order to allow users to manage their freight on a single platform as opposed to switching between a number of different applications. Users of the Cargobase platform will also be able to compare a range of cargobase solutions that are offered by Freight Forwarders as well as road freight providers. The company is also working on adding another level of anti-fraud security to their new platform. This new level of security will mean that the account numbers of each user are stored safely on the companyâs profile so that they are accessible only to admis or audits.
Cargobase Announced an Update to Their Online Platform
Cargobase has announced an update to their online platform that is used for the spot-buy freight sector. The company has announced their new release of the On the Go mobile application that can be used by shippers in the transport industry. Users of the application are able to gain better insight into their spot-buy freight. Cargobase On the Go is technology that has been designed for operational users and managers that allows them to book, approve and track shipments. The platform also allows for communication between different logistics service providers, which is thought to be able to help reduce the number of emails that are sent within the logistics industry. Cargobase hopes that they will be able to use this application to cut down on the excessive use of emails that occurs in this industry and can lead to an information overload. The onlive platform has been developed by Cargo base in order to make seeking a quote, comparing those quotes and then booking or approving work easier and more efficient. The application was developed in order to be used mainly by shippers. Some companies have been making the most of the lack of desire for negotiation when organising Spot-buy shipments with a number of different providers in order to charge a higher price. However the application makes this more difficult, as the simple comparison and booking opr approval system means that the leg work has been automated, cutting down the time and effort required and meaning that the shipment could be secured in the space of an hour. Spot-buy freight is a term that covers any freight service that is over and above regular or pre-planned supply chain operations. This type of freight is usually organised in the short term, but is also connected to a lower level of service and higher costs incurred. Therefore the technology that has been developed by Cargobase means that the Spot-buy sector could be made cheaper and better for its users.
