leogistics and VEROO form strategic partnership

leogistics GmbH, a global platform and software provider, and VEROO, a provider of high-performance cloud services for predictive transport visibility, are forming a strategic partnership in the area of tracking & tracing for trucks. Customers of leogistics and VEROO will benefit from a continuously growing telematics service for comprehensive real-time truck tracking across Europe.

(Hamburg/Wiener Neudorf/AT) leogistics GmbH digitizes, among other things, road transport and integrates all relevant data sources to map business processes. With the new partnership with VEROO, the supply chain specialist emphasizes the ambition of its factory and transport logistics platform myleo / dsc: more transparency for all stakeholders in the supply chain through a holistic integration of shipment tracking, time slot, and yard management. Because in this combination, real benefits arise in practice for all parties involved. myleo / dsc and VEROO customers can access GPS data from more than 200 telematics providers as needed, allowing them to plan the arrival times of their transports precisely – regardless of the carrier.

VEROO integrates location signals from over 200 GPS sources into myleo / dsc

The VEROO product portfolio, focusing on Europe-wide predictive transport visibility, answers today’s need for tracking & tracing: tried-and-true and reliable GPS technology combined with state-of-the-art machine learning and AI software. The GPS aggregation module developed by VEROO consolidates location signals from more than 200 different sources and enriches them with parameters such as signal quality. The result is made available to leogistics via API. Through an effective digital “onboarding process,” new GPS devices are continuously connected. Based on this real-time data, VEROO has developed a high-quality ETA algorithm (Estimated Time of Arrival). “VEROO’s precise ETA prediction sets new qualitative standards in customer service and the delivery experience of the goods recipient. VEROO does not just provide simple tracking data but enables proactive supply chain management,” sums up Senior Business Consultant Jean Arnaud. “Investing in ETA-based visibility solutions offers significant optimization and savings potential, especially for large shippers, in the medium term.”

Intelligent tracking adds value to time slot management and yard control

Knowing where a truck is located, how many kilometers remain between its current location and the destination, or knowing the arrival time given the current traffic situation offers little value for a shipping company when considered individually. “From our perspective, real-time information on trucks is only helpful if it serves to optimize adjacent logistics processes such as contactless entry onto a factory site, the occupancy of trucks at gates for loading and unloading, or the outsourcing of goods for loading,” says André Käber, CEO of leogistics GmbH.

myleo / dsc: collaboratively manage supply chains from start to finish

Despite the use of time slot management systems, manufacturing companies often do not know when trucks will arrive at the factory site. Loading and unloading processes become a gamble. This is where the track-and-trace solution myleo / tnt comes into play, which now also integrates GPS data from VEROO: With the acceptance of the freight order, the truck can already be tracked while en route. The system calculates through dynamic isolines (geofence areas) whether the planned arrival date can still be met. Standstill times within the factory premises can thus be minimized, and utilization can be optimized with the time slot management tool myleo / slot at loading and unloading points. The tool for managing utilization at loading points, gates, or filling plants calculates the loading and unloading duration in real-time based on flexible parameters such as number, load carrier, loading point, process type, and product category. Onboarding suppliers, their carriers, or their service providers takes place within minutes via invitation. Reservations and bookings can be created in myleo / slot manually or fully automatically based on process documents. The three components myleo / slot, myleo / tnt, and myleo / yard for yard management integrate seamlessly into the digital supply chain management solution myleo / dsc. This way, companies maintain control over their incoming and outgoing transports, including standstill fees and delays, and can intervene in a timely manner.
