Boxreload Exchange offers new opportunities
Hutchison Ports is expected to launch a new feature on its Boxreload cloud-based system to allow road hauliers and third parties to combine resources to offer more effective haulage solutions.
The Exchange, which is being launched on July 1, will allow Boxreload members to post available containerised transport jobs online, where they can be viewed and requested by pre-selected and trusted partners.
Andy Barker, general manager of Boxreload, said: “Companies that subscribe to Boxreload will be able to select their preferred transport providers through a Facebook-style ‘friends’ system. When they post container loads on The Exchange, the selected providers will be able to view and accept to do the transportation through the Boxreload system.
“The Exchange works in reverse, giving haulage companies that choose to collaborate a greater ability to utilise their fleets in the most cost-effective way. This feature directly compliments the ‘Reload’ part of Boxreload in that we will continue to seek collaboration opportunities for our members, replacing two journeys by two trucks with a single truck.”
Where this is not possible, companies will have the possibility of dinging alternative loads through the real-time Exchange system, he added.
