Digitalization of Logistics in the Agricultural Sector - CargoON Supports Bulk Material Transportation

The agro industry is facing increasing challenges, especially in the context of bulk transport. Market volatility, rising transport costs, and supply chain complexity are just some of the issues facing traders, logisticians and decision makers. In this context, the digitization of logistics processes is becoming indispensable, and CargoON offers solutions for the transport of bulk materials, tailored to the unique needs of this sector.

Comprehensive solutions for logistics

With an in-depth analysis of the agricultural sector’s needs, CargoON has developed a set of tools that simplify and automate transportation processes, adapting to specific challenges. Innovative features, such as multifreight, payment per ton, and the ability to specify particular vehicle and bulk cargo requirements, allow users to better manage resources and minimize risk. Solutions for the transport of bulk materials are the answer to optimizing logistics where every ton and every minute counts.

Multifreight: Efficiency of managing multiple shipments

Many logisticians in the agro industry struggle with the necessity of organizing shipments of varying volumes over an extended period of time.

The Multifreight feature makes it possible to create a single offer covering more than one shipment - both in terms of quantity and tonnage.

This solution provides greater flexibility, allowing carriers to handle shipments according to their capabilities, which leads to more efficient order management.

“While testing the potential of Multifreight, we discovered the benefits of automating and simplifying the process for larger volumes. Companies that previously divided loads into smaller orders can now effectively manage their allocation in a single offer. As a result, carriers find the right freight more efficiently, and publishers gain more control and flexibility in managing the logistics process,” emphasizes Robert Kutera, Product Manager at CargoON.

Transit Time: Planning and timeliness of deliveries

Transit Time is a parameter that accurately determines the time it takes to deliver goods from the place of loading to the place of unloading. In the agro industry, where seasonal and perishable products are often transported, timeliness is key. With the new CargoON feature, customers can easily add maximum transit time to their freight offer. This ensures control over deadlines and minimizes the risk of delays, which is especially important in cases of shipments where no specific dates for loading and unloading operations are defined.

Payment per ton: Transparency and cost optimization

In the transport of bulk materials, standard settlement inadequate for the actual weight of the transported load. CargoON offers a solution that allows settlement based on the actual weight of the transported goods. As a result, transport companies and traders can be sure that they are paying for what was actually transported, allowing better budget management and eliminating inaccuracies in settlement.

Advanced vehicle and load requirements:

As part of its bulk material handling solutions, CargoON provides a set of parameters that specify the requirements for the vehicle and the load.

    • select the appropriate body type and specify additional equipment for the dump truck itself (e.g., steel or aluminum dump truck)
    • add certification details (e.g., GMP+, Qualimat, TASCC)
    • identify waste transport requirements
    • get support in specifying the IDTF code and semi-trailer cleaning method (for feed and grain products, covered by GMP+)

This solution helps ensure that shipments meet all safety and quality standards, which is crucial in the agro industry.

Recording weights in orders and summarizing order values

Thanks to the advanced features of CargoON, it is also possible to accurately record the weights of the goods transported within each order. This feature automatically calculates and summarizes the value of an order based on the actual weight of the materials being transported, which allows precise settlement between carriers and transport companies.

Robert Kutera - CargoON
"Today's agro industry is challenged not only by the increasing complexity of the supply chain, but also by rising expectations for transparency and operational efficiency. We recognize the specific challenges faced by companies operating in the bulk material sector, which is why we have chosen to develop dedicated solutions. The complexity of transport requirements, such as the need for proper certification or the maintenance of appropriate standards of semi-trailer cleanliness, required tools that would allow these requirements to be accurately determined as early as the order publication stage. Our solutions adapt to the needs of the industry, simplifying processes, reducing unnecessary inquiries and speeding up transactions, which directly translates into operational efficiency for our clients."
