- Carriers now use a single visibility tool for their shippers'
requirements
- Monitors shipment locations and expected arrival and departure
times in real-time for enhanced security, customer service and
business efficiency
WESTMINSTER, Colo., Sept. 16,
2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Trimble (NASDAQ: TRMB) announced
the launch of Transporeon Visibility in North America. Carriers and shippers in the
road, ocean and air transportation sectors can access the locations
of their shipments and vehicles in real time in addition to having
accurate Estimated Time of Arrival (ETA) information created with
powerful AI capabilities.
"We're excited to introduce our powerful visibility solution,
which seamlessly integrates with Trimble Transportation Management
Software (TMS) applications and other visibility solutions," said
Ed Moran, managing director,
Americas, Transporeon. "In today's challenging landscape, the
transportation sector needs advanced digital tools to overcome
supply chain obstacles and maintain a competitive edge. We believe
Transporeon Visibility, combined with our extensive network, will
be a valuable asset for shippers, carriers and brokers across
North America."
Maintaining full visibility of freight shipments is costly,
resource heavy and time consuming. The information gathered is
often unreliable because it derives from many disconnected — and
sometimes contradictory — data sources. Many stakeholders in the
transportation sector expect to deal with frequent disruptions but
lack the necessary support tools that enable them to act quickly
and decisively to mitigate those delays. The result is an increase
in costs for an industry all too familiar with tight margins.
Transporeon Visibility provides a solution to address these
constraints. It is easily deployed, with a simple onboarding
process for carriers. It suits both new users and existing Trimble
users, as it integrates seamlessly with Trimble TMS products such
as TMW.Suite and Innovative, and other integrations such as
TruckMate will be available before the end of the year.
Thanks to its integration with Trimble Trust Center, carriers
can now automate their data sharing and network connectivity,
providing updates to shipments in Transporeon Visibility. The
carrier portal is easy to set up, which also makes it attractive
for smaller carriers. Carriers only need to use one visibility tool
regardless of multiple shippers' requirements.
Real-time freight tracking view: Via an at-a-glance,
customizable user interface or data feed, Transporeon Visibility
gives operators and relevant stakeholders the exact location of the
vehicles or individual truckload, air or ocean shipments in real
time. Delays caused by faulty addresses or vehicle license plates
become a distant memory.
ETA trust: Reliable ETA predictability means planners and
operators can stay ahead of disruptions and proactively work on
managing the exceptions. Cost savings include reduced demurrage and
detention penalties and optimized deployment of expensive equipment
and driver resources.
Data sharing: Transporeon Visibility helps to ensure data
security as data is only shared when consent is given, a vehicle is
allocated, and the data sharing criteria are met.
Optimized truckloads: With confident expectations of
truck and driver arrival and waiting times, extra runs and loads
can be scheduled when appropriate because the truck and driver
spend less time idle.
Wider business opportunities: Transporeon Visibility
facilitates the expansion of carrier networks for shippers and
provides the ability to view visibility performance of those
carriers. Brokers and carriers enjoy more efficient management of
subcontractor performance.
Security and safety: Freight fraud is a
growing risk for North American truckload transports. Real-time
visibility enables precise monitoring of shipment routing and
location. Unexpected deviations and efficient resource allocation
can be addressed quickly.
Interconnected transportation modes: Intermodal
visibility covers changeover points — such as ports and airports —
where disruption, delays and chokepoints are more likely to occur.
This visibility includes intercompany flows when shipments transfer
from one carrier to another.
Availability:
Transporeon Visibility is already
accessible for carrier customers in North
America and will be available for all types of customers
including shippers in Q4 2024. For further information on
