has officially announced the launch of its latest solution in Transporeon Visibility. According to certain reports, the stated solution will allow carriers and shippers to access the locations of their shipments and vehicles in real time, while simultaneously enjoying accurate Estimated Time of Arrival (ETA) information created with powerful AI capabilities. You see, maintaining full visibility of freight shipments has long been proven to be a costly, resource heavy, and time consuming affair. Even once you have successfully got the needed information; it still carries a risk of being unreliable, as it is taken from many disconnected, and sometimes even contradictory, data sources. In response, Transporeon Visibility delivers a setup which can be easily deployed, with a simple onboarding process for carriers. Furthermore, it is understood to be a suitable component for both new and existing Trimble users, a feature emerging from its ability to integrate with Trimble TMS products, such as TMW.Suite and Innovative, and other integrations such as TruckMate. Not just that, given the solution’s integration with Trimble Trust Center, carriers can easily automate their data sharing and network connectivity so to orchestrate regular updates on shipments in Transporeon Visibility.
Taking a deeper view of the new technology’s capabilities, they begin from a real-time freight tracking view facility, which leverages a customizable user interface or data feed to give operators and relevant stakeholders the exact location of vehicles or individual truckload, as well as air or ocean shipments in real time. This, like you can guess, eliminates the delays caused by faulty addresses or vehicle license plates.
Next up, we must dig into Transporeon Visibility’s promise of ETA trust. Hence, with reliable ETA data, planners and operators can stay ahead of disruptions and proactively work on managing the exceptions. Beyond that, such an offering also goes the distance to realize significant cost savings by reducing demurrage and detention penalties, and at the same time, optimizing deployment of expensive equipment and driver resources. Another detail worth a mention here is rooted in the stated technology’s pledge to ensure secure data sharing. We get to say that because Transporeon Visibility mandates a setup where data is only shared when consent is given, a vehicle is allocated, and the data sharing criteria is duly met.
We referred to how the solution can optimize deployment of expensive equipment and driver resources, but what we haven’t touched on yet is that it also happens to be well-equipped for optimizing truckloads in particular. Thanks to more confident expectations of truck and driver arrival, along with waiting times, Transporeon Visibility allows extra runs and loads to be scheduled when appropriate as the truck and driver spend less time idle.
“We’re excited to introduce our powerful visibility solution, which seamlessly integrates with Trimble Transportation Management Software (TMS) applications and other visibility solutions,” said Ed Moran, managing director of Transporeon Americas. “In today’s challenging landscape, the transportation sector needs advanced digital tools to overcome supply chain obstacles and maintain a competitive edge. We believe Transporeon Visibility, combined with our extensive network, will be a valuable asset for shippers, carriers and brokers across North America.”
Now, by leveraging such an intelligent framework, Transporeon Visibility facilitates the expansion of carrier networks for shippers. Furthermore, it delivers the means to view visibility performance of those carriers, meaning brokers and carriers can achieve more efficient management when it comes to subcontractor performance. Rounding up highlights would the presence of interconnected transportation modes. In essence, intermodal visibility covers changeover points — such as ports and airports — where disruption, delays, and chokepoints are more likely to occur. This visibility, on its part, also includes intercompany flows when shipments transfer from one carrier to another.
Founded in 2000, Transporeon’s rise up the ranks stems from powering the largest global freight network of more than 1,400 shippers and retailers, and more than 150,000 carriers and logistics service providers. On a day-to-day basis, the company executes more than 110,000 transports on its platform, all while booking well over 100,000 dock-appointments for loading and unloading.
