Zipmend Express: Real digitalisation with private freight exchange
The Hamburg courier service zipmend Express will use the private freight exchange of Trans.eu in the future. The corresponding cooperation agreement was signed in the presence of Benjamin Pencarski and Tim Trede (zipmend Express) and Bijan Hakami (Trans.eu).
“With the private freight exchange, we are enabling zipmend to make a quality leap in the field of carrier sourcing,” announces Bijan Hakami, responsible Business Development Manager at Trans.eu. “To this private transport community, zipmend can invite its already existing network to intensify the cooperation with selected and trustworthy carriers and thus build its own freight exchange of preferred partners.”
Zipmend’s primary goal with the Trans.eu private freight exchange is to speed up freight allocation and prioritise carriers with high quality standards. Partner companies that perform well and reliably can be rewarded with preferential contracting. In this way, zipmend creates a safe environment of preferred carriers and reduces the risk of reselling loads to third parties.
In addition, the company’s own carriers are also to benefit in particular from the private freight exchange. They will only be notified in the private freight exchange of offers that are relevant to them and can thus submit their offers in a more targeted manner. The ineffective “offer spamming” that is often practised in practice is no longer necessary.
Thanks to an API integration, zipmend controls the awarding of contracts, administration and communication directly from its own TMS, which shortens the awarding process for all parties involved.
