Carrier Selection
You want your goods moved from A to B on time, in budget and conform some other constraints. To have your goods shipped according to these constraints you need enough quality carrier capacity.
The transport market is a market with thousands of carriers, suited for specific industries and operating regions, with different performing scores and prices. Therefore it isn't the most transparent market and it can be truly challenging to find the carriers matching your needs.
Thanks to our hands-on transport mentality and experience as a 4PL provider, we are capable of selecting the carriers to your requirements in a short period of time.
Questions?
The best carrier for your transport
As a 4PL service provider, we are a neutral party. Therefore, we always match you with the most suitable carrier based on modality, service, lane, price and performance levels.
The SmartWay TMS contains a database of over 3 thousand carriers, of which 270 are active for at least one transport per week. Our TMS selects the most suitable carrier for your load based on specific order requirements.
Growing & up-to-date carrier database
Our Carrier Management team constantly updates the SmartWay carrier database.
We are actively approaching new carriers offering services for road, parcel, inter-modal, short-sea, deep-sea and air shipments to expand our carrier network.
New technological developments are closely monitored and trialled before implementing, for example, zero-emission trucks and LHV vehicles.
We work with over 3 thousand carriers
Contract management for solid performance
A contract or service level agreement formalises the agreed rates, capacity commitments, service levels, and liabilities.
These agreements are set up in the master data of our TMS and periodically reviewed by the Carrier Management team.
