Saloodo! expands its platform with new digital freight tenders

Saloodo! simplifies road freight processes by matching shippers to transport providers.

(PRESS RELEASE) BONN, 23-Oct-2019 — /EuropaWire/ — The first digital freight platform increasingly becoming an all-in-one solution for carriers and shippers. Saloodo! has now entered into the business of long-term transport contracts and will also offer freight tenders in the future. The actually complex business process is also simply structured on the platform and kept consistently digital.

Now it is possible for shippers to offer different tender variants. Saloodo! initially tested the new function with simple one-way traffic. The start-up then expanded its portfolio following consistent positive reactions to these tenders. Multi-stop, encounter and round trip tenders can now also be placed by customers. Transportation service providers can then bid on it and thus generate more planning security for their company.

Thomas Grunau, CEO of Saloodo! commented: “We develop the Saloodo! freight platform so that it offers exactly the economic advantage that our customers want. With the possibility of electronic freight tendering, we are taking companies in the transport and logistics industry a further step towards digitization and ensuring greater efficiency, transparency and productivity for all parties involved.”

Digitization saves administration costs

Both parties can now save themselves from the high administrative effort that is normally required for invitations to tender for transports. The shipper automatically receives an overview of all bids received after the bid deadline has expired and can select the one that suits him best.
