New user interface ensures more efficient workflows

DHL’s digital freight platform Saloodo! has introduced a redesigned user interface for its shippers that guides clients step- by-step through the transport request process.

Thomas Grunau, chief executive of Saloodo!, said: “We have made it our mission to put the customer at the center of all business decisions. Only those functions are published on the platform that offer our customers real added value and make their everyday business easier.

“And so the design has not just been changed simply because it looks better, but above all because the intuitive user interface makes our customers faster, more efficient and therefore more productive throughout the entire transport process, i.e. from transport request to invoicing and payment.”

Among the new features, shippers can now save their transport request with all details as a template and retrieve it at any time.

In addition, the filter options for searching for transport orders and transport requests have been expanded. By filtering by date, country, postal code or transport ID, it is now no longer a problem to find specific order documents quickly, even in extensive archives with many transports handled by Saloodo!

It is now possible to specify special transport requirements on the platform. Shippers can point out in their transport request that, for example, tension belts or anti-slip mats are required. This makes it even easier to find exactly the right transport partner for their transport requirements.

If the transport orders do not have to be strictly date-based, shippers can now specify a flexible date range for pickup and delivery to the customer by the transport company.

Saloodo! Was established by Deutsche Post DHL Group in 2016 and combines the logistics know-how and infrastructure of a global player with the flexibility and digital expertise of a start-up.
