Digitalizing logistics in the agro industry: How CargoON supports the transport of bulk materials

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.

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.

Benefits for the agro industry

Digitaliization of logistics in the agro sector is becoming increasingly important in terms of optimizing costs, improving efficiency and increasing process transparency. By offering advanced tools, CargoON allows companies in this industry to better manage their resources, mitigate risks and ensure compliance with regulatory requirements and certifications. The benefits of digital solutions can be seen in both cost reduction and improved transport organization, which has a direct impact on the profitability of companies.

• Increased transparency: CargoON solutions for the agro and bulk material transport industry allow companies to optimize transport processes. Multifreight management and settlement per ton make logistics operations more transparent and tailored to the specific needs of the sector.
• Full control: With tools such as Transit Time, companies gain full visibility over their shipments, which minimizes the risk of delays and allows them to better plan deliveries. This is particularly important in the agro sector, where on-time delivery can determine commercial success.
• Compliance with regulations and certifications: CargoON provides tools for precise definition of certification and transport requirements. This not only facilitates logistics processes, but also ensures compliance with regulatory requirements, which is crucial in the transport of bulk materials.

The agro industry requires solutions that address the specific challenges of bulk material handling. They involve, in particular, strict regulations on certification and the obligation to keep detailed records of the circumstances of carriage. Adherence to these standards is key to ensuring compliance and safety throughout the supply chain.

Digitalization is becoming a key component of modern logistics, and CargoON is leading this transformation, by providing solutions that meet the needs of both logisticians and traders.
