The way we book freight has always been slow and not very open. We usually have to go through brokers.. Now Digital Freight Platforms are making things better by giving us prices in real time letting us book right away and tracking our shipments in a clear way.
What are Digital Freight Platforms?
These are websites where people who need to ship things can connect directly with people who have trucks and ships. By making contracts and schedules digital they get rid of things that slow us down and make it easier to see what is going on in the supply chain.
The Technology that is Making this Happen
Computer programs that can think like people are helping us guess how much shipping will be needed and changing prices on the fly.
A special kind of computer code called Blockchain is keeping contracts safe. Making it easier to do customs paperwork.
Devices that can send and receive information are helping us keep an eye on the cargo and where it is in time.
The Good and the Bad
People who ship things are getting a deal and can see what is going on. The people with trucks and ships are using their space better. Not driving around empty.. People who get the shipments are getting them faster.. There are also some problems like people trying to hack in and brokers who do not want to change.
Examples
A company called Flexport is doing a job with Digital Freight.. Uber Freight is getting bigger all over the world. There are also companies in Asia and Africa that are making Digital Freight Platforms that work for their areas.
How it Helps the Earth
Digital Freight Platforms are using computer programs to find the routes and that means less pollution.. When we share loads it means fewer empty trips. So Digital Freight Platforms are good for the earth too.
Digital Freight Platforms are changing the way we do shipping. They are using technology to make things more open and better, for the earth. As more people start using them shipping over the world will get better and better.
