Digitalisation

As disruptions in global logistics become the new norm, traditional transport management models are no longer sufficient. Fragmented data, delayed information flows, and a lack of full operational visibility extend reaction times and drive up costs. Transport management platforms are emerging as a response to these challenges, integrating data from multiple sources and enabling supply-chain participants to operate faster, more coherently, and in a more predictable manner.

While the industry has made strides, many operations still rely on "old school" methods like Excel spreadsheets and phone calls to secure capacity. But with driver shortages and scarce capacity becoming the new norm, the "next big leap" is already here: a fully connected, AI-powered supply chain.

The road transport sector has long struggled with fragmentation, inefficiencies, and lack of transparency between shippers and carriers. For shippers, this means uncertainty, higher transaction costs, and limited visibility across supply chains. Enter CargoON- with its end-to-end platform that manages freights, rates, documentation, while enabling real-time tracking and communication with carriers.

With every fifth truck in the European Union driving with no cargo, empty runs are the stone pulling the transport sector financials into the abyss of losses. Technological tools can be a key factor in reducing cargo-less trips and thus help firms reduce their operational costs.

A strategic respnose to data fragmentation in supply chains API and EDI integrations are an important step in the digitization of logistics, but on a European scale they are no longer sufficient to ensure full information exchange in a distributed transport ecosystem. The next stage is the transition to data sharing models – so-called Data Spaces, which allow market participants to exchange information on standardized principles while maintaining control over their own data.

CargoON is an end-to-end carrier connectivity platform built specifically for shippers. It enables companies to optimize freight allocation, enhance supply chain visibility, and automate transport execution—all from a single, integrated system

Rising costs, time pressures, and growing customer expectations are forcing building materials manufacturers to rethink their approach to logistics. As a result, more and more companies — including Aluplast — are turning to digital transformation to modernize and streamline their logistics operations.

The European Freight and Logistics Leaders' Forum (F&L) 2025 is set to bring together Europe’s top supply chain and logistics decision-makers in Wrocław, Poland, on April 9-10, 2025. As a partner of this prestigious event, Trans.eu, along with CargoON, will play an active role in shaping the discussion around digitalization, efficiency, and the challenges facing transport and logistics in the CEE region.

The latest edition of Market Insights ON presents a comprehensive analysis of the factors shaping logistics and transport in 2025. This report delves into economic trends, freight market fluctuations, digitalization advances, and regulatory shifts that will impact supply chains across Europe. With contributions from industry experts, it highlights both challenges and opportunities, providing valuable insights for supply chain managers, logistics professionals, and policymakers navigating an increasingly complex landscape.

The logistics industry is on the brink of a major transformation. By 2026, the European Commission is expected to fully introduce eCMR - the digital consignment note that promises to replace outdated paper processes, streamline operations, and enhance efficiency across supply chains. But what does this mean for businesses today?

Is collaboration both the key solution and the biggest challenge in building a more sustainable supply chain? At CargoON, we are conducting a study in partnership with UPF Barcelona School of Management, exploring how collaboration can drive greater efficiency and competitiveness in supply chains while overcoming structural barriers.

In the dynamic and competitive landscape of the European market in 2025, logistics managers face mounting pressure to adopt strategies that enhance efficiency and drive cost savings.

The European Commodities Exchange (ECE) in Paris brought together industry leaders, traders, and logistics professionals to discuss the challenges and opportunities shaping the agro sector. CargoON was proud to be part of this major event, showcasing how digital solutions are transforming agro logistics and supporting shippers and traders in overcoming today’s complexities.
