New online freight system
June 1st 2009 Acumen Distribution, has
launched 'AcuFreight' to
create a competitive
marketplace for backloads.
The online freight system is
a real-time exchange
platform matching
unallocated loads with
empty vehicles travelling
across the UK.
AcuFreight is designed to
reduce costs, reduce empty
vehicle running and create
additional revenue for
carriers by helping them
utilise otherwise empty
vehicles. It enables
customers to place available
loads on the system and
hauliers can bid for the
work, either against a target
price or in an open auction.
The web-exchange
enables customers to upload
information either manually
or via an EDI interface and
to view available vehicles
with best match for loads.
Vehicle type and collection
and delivery times can be
specifies. Only registered
and approved hauliers will
be able to access the system
and there are no joining or
registration fees. An account
manager will provide full
customer support backup. More articles from Acumen Logistics Group Ltd: |
