The desire for optimizing transportation operation is unanimous across all the involved parties. And the benefits of strongly orchestrated operation will be reflected in better services to your customers and supply chain partners.

In recent years, many companies have been focusing on-time shipping and optimized operations. Many large initiatives have been taken to standardize communication between shippers and transport operators.

There are three perspectives to look at regarding freight operations optimization;

• Enhanced Digital Connectivity across the ecosystem
• Collaborative Interaction
• Standardization of data sharing

1. Enhanced Digital Connectivity

During the increase in demand, manufacturing companies start assigning their deliveries to transport service providers basis on service availability. But during multiple orders handling and delivering goods to different geographies cause inefficiencies in synchronization between transporter’s service availability and companies’ delivery schedule. This is the part where productivity from the involved team members from both sides has a direct effect on efficiency.

This is the time where we need more information about what is happening with multiple consignments and status updates of each shipment. Hypercollider provides a separate dashboard that contains relevant information and data of all ongoing shipments. Where Hyperprovider collects information from Transport Operators and gives them real-time updates on each shipment information required to execute the delivery.

2. Collaborative Interaction

A shipper is concerned with optimizing and utilizing its delivery operations, serving multiple customers by delivering through multiple transport operators simultaneously. The average shipper uses different types of services such as road freight services ( i.e. part load, full load, container load, trailer load), Rail Freight (i.e. container, flatbed wagon, closed wagon), and Airfreight, all driven by different business requirements.

Transport Service Providers being collaborative during multiple shipments is concerned with providing value services to shippers and their clients. But for Transport operators, an underlying concern is to match the service availability with shippers’ planning.

Our products are designed to engage shippers and transport operators in their everyday transport activities. Every transporter who joins our product becomes part of an active supply chain. Not only the pricing and status update, but each transporter also identifies and provides their attributes for each type of service requirement. Our products offer flexibility on planning at the last minute to expand the delivery aspects as much as possible. Considering the reality of scheduling, shippers and transporter interact before and during the delivery of the goods.

3. Standardization of Data Sharing

To run transport operations at an optimal speed and experince fast movement of cargo with as little waiting time as possible, a collaborative data sharing process needs to be implemented.

Our products provide a framework for sharing your shipment-related details and documents between shippers, transport agents, and drivers. Users can edit, upload documents during ongoing shipment transactions. Our systems keep all the documents stored in the vault, which can be viewed by shared parties in the individual shipment process. Our products use the shipment process of each party’s role and their need for the requirement of each document during transportation events.

Implementation of Digital Freight Solution is promising and optimizing from both shippers’ and transporters’ perspectives. A shared communication during core events, timely response, and associate status will improve the speed of freight movement. A digital infrastructure like Hypertech Logistics allows all the parties involved in freight operation episodic connectivity. Most likely, this optimization approach will provide the desired efficiency for logistics operation as a whole.
