OCS hopes that the use of the private freight exchange will provide more flexibility for individual customer solutions, lower bureaucratic barriers for the cooperation with shippers and carriers as well as new business relationships on the Eastern European transport market.
“For us as a freight forwarder with a focus on Eastern Europe, Trans.eu offers us a great opportunity to tap into fresh new potential in this market thanks to the particularly strong network in Poland and other Eastern European countries,” says Dennis Braun from the management of OCS.
At the same time, OCS wants to meet the growing importance of building large networks with its own subcontractors through close cooperation. With Trans.eu, the freight forwarder is relying on an advanced technology solution for this project, which already has a significant track record in the European transport market.
The transport platform gives OCS immediate access to a network of 25,000 verified carriers from Europe to Eurasia. Thanks to the cooperation between Trans.eu and Doll + Leiber, OCS can control the dispatching, freight price negotiation and transport allocation from its own TMS.
The time and organisational effort for the process of transport allocation can thus be massively reduced. In addition, sources of error during order entry are significantly reduced and real visibility and transparency are promoted through real-time data exchange.
This is primarily intended to relieve the workload of the company’s own dispatchers, allowing them more room for individual customer care. This is a central aspect for OCS in order to set itself apart from price-driven competitors and to be able to increase its own profits.
“By cooperating with Trans.eu, we can offer our customers access to advanced additional features directly from their TMS. True digitalisation speeds up transport allocation, while at the same time enabling us and our customers to build their own transport network”, says Albert Doll, Managing Director of Doll + Leiber.
For Doll + Leiber and Trans.eu, the trust of OCS is a great success for their recently launched cooperation. The TMS provider, which has specialised in its comprehensive transport management solutions for small and medium-sized forwarding companies, thereby offers a new interface to an innovative transport platform and thus enables its customers to significantly increase efficiency in the area of load allocation from the logistics module “Intertrans”.
The partnership between OCS, Doll + Leiber and Trans.eu can easily be described as a pioneering project with which the three companies want to jointly open up new potential on the transport market.
