Transwide has reached a major milestone, with more than 500 transport companies actively using the Transwide transport execution solutions.
Transwide says that more than 350 lead transportation providers and more than 150 subcontracted transport companies are now collaborating on the Transwide network.
The growth in the number of transport companies is the result of new shippers requesting Transwide to on-board their carrier base.
“The aggregate market share of the 500 transport companies working on Transwide represent more than 20% of the European road industry” said Eric van den Bemden, director Logistics Partnerships at Transwide. “Transwide now has transport companies from all major European countries”.
Transwide has also witnessed a surging growth in the number of transportation companies requesting to have integrated access, which enables them to receive directly all transport information in their own IT systems, avoiding multiple manual entries and reducing errors. On average, transport companies start to measure the tangible benefits of integrated access when they have more than 1,500 transport orders per year. This represents a trailing average of about 20 - 25% of the companies receiving transport orders via Transwide’s collaborative hub.
Additionally, transport companies who have on board computers with integrated access can share data in real-time with their client shippers, providing immediate pro-active transport visibility to their customers.
Transport companies increasingly view Transwide as an important operational tool, and are asking Transwide to disclose their names to shippers. Transwide has therefore decided to publish the list of the lead transport companies who are actively working on the Transwide systems, at www.transwide.com
