Shippers
Optimise
your transport organisation
Adopt a new standard
The role of the supply
chain is evolving
In particular, the road freight transport which has become a lever of optimisation and competitiveness for many companies.
Reliable capacity is secured, an irreproachable level of service is provided, transparency is improved throughout the chain and the environmental footprint is reduced. All while controlling costs.
For supply chain and transport departments, reconciling these objectives is a major challenge nowadays.
Modern problems require modern solutions
Fretlink represents the new generation of transport organisers. We orchestrate road freight flows with a streamlined approach based on equitable and sustainable collaboration between the doers and the decision makers.
To build such a standard of collaboration, we’ve developed a global purchasing and management solution, the Transport Operating System, based on computer modeling of transport operations to make the realities of the sector more performant, fluid and clearer.
Thanks to in-depth knowledge of shippers’ needs and carrier capacities, our Transport Operating System identifies the most relevant flows and counter-flows to rationalise transport plans and optimise every single trip, benefiting everyone involved.
It centralises all the steps in the chain via the same interface and facilitates exchanges, allowing a tight controlled management of your operations along the process.
What are the benefits of Fretlink?
Every mile is run for a (good) reason
Optimising vehicle fill rates allows you to provide a balanced price, which sufficiently rewards the carrier and fits into your overall budget strategy. The environmental impact of transportation is also minimised to the bare minimum.
Where the quality of service delivered meets your high standards
The centralisation of your operations within our tool, alongside the automation of many time-consuming tasks, allows our teams to organise and manage your operations while controlling risk and guaranteeing an expected level of service. We help you limit delays-related penalties, while stimulating orders from your customers.
Improved understanding of your performance
By digitising each step of the process, we’re able to guarantee a greater granularity of information, providing you with a more accurate reporting that will help you to make better decisions.
How does Fretlink fit within a transport organisation?
We offer two programs to take care of transport for our customers: Lead PL and Freight Forward. In addition, a certified carbon offset solution can accompany either of these programs.
Whatever you decide, Fretlink will make sure we understand every carrier’s daily activity, that each of them is equipped with the tools and knowledge needed to work on your flows, and that Fretlink can work seamlessly alongside your other solutions.
