Key Market Trends

Rise of Digital Freight Matching Platform benefiting Trucking Companies

Majority of US trucking companies are not large organizations like Knight-Swift, J.B. Hunt, and Schneider. Around 97% of carriers in the U.S. operate 20 or fewer trucks (while 90% of those operate with six or fewer trucks).The U.S. economy depends on trucks to deliver nearly 70% of all freight transported in the US annually, accounting for USD 671 billion worth of manufactured and retail goods transported in the country by truck alone. To help match those carriers (both small and large) with shippers that want to get their goods from point A to point B as efficiently as possible, a new crop of "digital freight matching" platforms have emerged over the last few years.

Companies like Convoy, Uber Freight, and uShip, are called Digital Freight Matching companies. They match shipper demand for carrier/trucking capacity using mobile- or web-based technology platforms - most commonly through the use of apps. Digital Freight Matching lets shippers directly and almost immediately find drivers with the capacity to transport their truckload (TL), partial truckload, and less-than-truckload (LTL) freight on the right types of trucks on the dates and routes that they need. These apps provide a much needed solution for companies operating Less than Truckload Trucks.

Reduced Logistics Cost with Digital Freight Forwarding

Total cost of a product includes its logistics cost as well. With digital freight forwarding these costs can be cut short by using a digital forwarder. The digital forwarder connects within its digital platform importers, exporters, trucking companies, ocean carriers, airlines, customs agencies, and port terminals. Customers can access up-to-the-minute updates and alerts allowing for near real-time adjustments along the value chain to keep logistics, commercial, and customer expectations on track.

For example, Tradeshift, an open supplier collaboration platform with third-party apps, allows companies to manage direct and indirect spend. Platforms allow companies to gain increased control over some of the most critical business processes - from procurement, inventory, cash flow and customer relations, to compliance and tax planning. Chief Financial Officers can reconcile what's in-transit with what's on the balance sheet. This allows a transparent logistics process and hassle free transportation of goods.
