Challenge
A large European logistics company sought to optimize the freight management and reduce transportation costs. Existing dedicated logistics control systems, albeit fully functional and convenient, were mostly focused on the needs of a specific group of users (carriers, managers of logistics centers or forwarders). Decentralization of management systems and fragmentation of data on each side hindered the overall efficiency and productivity of operations management in logistics.

Solution
SENLA created a freight management platform that combined mobile Android and iOS applications for carriers and web service for logistics managers and forwarders. The developed solution allowed users to:
- plan and control utilization of the logistics center;
- inform users about identified opportunities for a quick deployment of cargo;
- plan and adjust routes, based on the road situation;
- exchange service messages and receive notifications;
- use OCR for scanning delivery documents, IDs and passports;
- control document flow and loading/unloading scenarios;
- calculate KPI on an individual level for each driver and logistics center;
- benefit from Big Data log analytics.
