Provides shippers and carriers with a one-stop platform for road freight connections in Argentina
Digital road freight platform Saloodo!, a product of DHL Global Forwarding and Freight, has launched for shippers and transport providers in South America, starting with Argentina, and will be extended to other regions.
Since 2017 Saloodo!, has been supporting businesses in Europe and the Middle East and has recently been expanded to Africa. Globally, the platform has grown to more than 30,000 shippers and over 12,000 carriers covering 50 countries.
Says Antje Huber, CEO of Saloodo!: “We are proud on how quickly we are able to expand our digital platform. The successful implementation of Saloodo! in Europe, the Middle East and Africa allows us to offer the service now also in South America. This helps to improve the connectedness and efficiency of the road freight system in this region.
“According to our Global Connectedness Index, South America is one of the least connected continents in the world but has made great progress in recent years. In a country where road and, above all, rail infrastructure is deficient, solutions of this type boost round-trip logistics, with the Saloodo! platform being an ideal place to link supply and demand.”
Saloodo! provides a central, simple and reliable interface for shippers and carriers, helping to optimise costs, routes, freight loads and transit times.
The platform simplifies the search for suitable and reliable freight forwarders so that the right partners can be found more quickly from a network of verified freight forwarders.
Says Eduardo Rodrigues, General Manager of DHL Global Forwarding Argentina: “An efficient land freight network is essential for local and international trade and gives an additional boost to economic growth and local and regional connectivity, as it is the key channel of trade within a geographically very large country.
“Our goal is to get rid of traditional, time-consuming and offline logistics processes – Saloodo! optimises the whole shipping process on just one single platform.”
The platform recommends a transport price based on current market data and makes all transportation documents accessible online.
