Cargohub launches "Trucking CDM" platform
Congestion at large airports has become a major cause of delays, increasing pollution and cost. The Dutch portal Cargohub recently launched the innovative "collaborative decision making" (CDM) trucking platform that offers transparency, predictability and a slot allocation planning mechanism to streamline loading and unloading processes. Handling agents can now allocate timeslots and door numbers and anticipate on real time ETA update times from trucking companies' drivers.
Raoul Paul, CEO and founder of the new platform: "The message that the cargo is ready for loading and the assigned door number can be received by drivers via the CDM platform. Not only does this improve the fluidity on the site, but the truck driver can follow instructions without the intervention of the company’s management." (ah)
