NIC-place with “myBGL Connect” for Digital Networking of BGL Members

The Federal Association of Goods Transport, Logistics and Disposal (BGL) e.V. is launching a unique opportunity for digital collaboration exclusively for its members in cooperation with the logistics solution

(Kempten/Berlin) The transport and logistics industry has been facing the challenges of becoming more efficient and digital, not just since the Corona pandemic. For years, the demands from the shipping industry regarding transparency during transport have been increasing. This is accompanied by the ever-growing pressure on freight forwarders, transport companies, and logistics providers to share their data through open so-called “Real-Time-Visibility” platforms and to provide precise arrival times (ETA) in real-time. Meanwhile, transport orders remain highly competitive. Large and new players are entering the market and additionally changing the traditional transport landscape. Every company is currently faced with the challenge of sustainably addressing digitalization and remaining competitive in the long term.

Together into a Digital Future

The BGL, as the umbrella organization, consolidates the individual state associations and member organizations to advance the common interests of transport logistics in an organized manner. Accordingly, there will be a need for a central opportunity for members to digitally cooperate within the trusted BGL network in the future.

As a neutral software solution, particularly convincing through a carrier-focused service offering, NIC-place is ideally suited to provide the technological basis and comprehensively address data protection issues.

“myBGL Connect” as the First Step

Within the closed member area “myBGL Connect”, NIC-place will facilitate collaboration with partners in the future and open up additional digital benefits for participating companies. Transport logistics organized by the BGL can present their company and service offerings to potential colleagues and customers for free and search for suitable partners, e.g., from other regions. The search filters all listed companies according to the chosen parameters and displays them both on a map and as a result list, to quickly and easily identify problem solutions and new cooperation opportunities.

Utilize Additional Operational Benefits as Add-ons

The establishment of the cooperation network within the logistics solution provides transport logistics with the perfect environment to benefit from additional operational NIC-place advantages as an optional add-on, to comprehensively collaborate digitally with partners and customers. Because in addition to the pure presentation and search of BGL members, the modern application allows all users to easily and securely exchange telematics and order data and maintain a constant overview of their own fleet transports as well as the vehicles of subcontractors used. Live tracking is complemented by intelligent monitoring based on a customizable alarm and escalation management.

By using NIC-place, BGL members become part of the connected logistics ecosystem without disclosing their private network of subcontractors and retain control and transparency over their data at all times. All of this is collected in just one application.
