Three solutions for optimised load assignments
No-touch order
Contracted freight made easy
This is a seamless way to execute contracted freight between shippers, forwarders and carriers. By digitalising the process from beginning to end, shipments are automatically assigned and sent to the right forwarder or carrier within the shipper’s network. Both get an overview of all shipments received on the platform. And the real bonus? It frees up valuable time for people to focus on the tasks that actually need a human touch.
BEST CARRIER
Smarter spot freight
Nearly 21% of all trucks across the EU are running empty—a costly problem with serious knock-on effects for both the economy and the environment. The solution? We make efficient use of the available loading space and reduce costs for both carriers and shippers. Best Carrier takes the wheel of the end-to-end spot bidding process, doing the heavy lifting for shippers, forwarders and carriers alike. It crunches the numbers behind the scenes and smartly suggests better, sharper assignments—so you get the right match with no fuss.
AUTONOMOUS PROCUREMENT
Spot freight on autopilot
Autonomous Procurement blows traditional spot procurement out of the water with an approach built on behavioural and data science. Why wait for carriers to bid when you can beat them to it? This tool serves up tailored rates, fine-tuned for each carrier, slashing the back-and-forth and locking in walk-away prices on the spot. Faster deals, fewer emails and one smooth process.
Discover Autonomous Procurement
A carrier-focused solution
Carriers and LSPs face enough challenges—Transport Assignment is designed to make life easier and business more profitable by letting you manage deliveries directly within shipper accounts, gain real-time insights into offer positioning, exchange documents electronically and streamline both communication and payments.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is transport assignment for carriers?
Transport assignment is the process through which carriers receive, evaluate and accept contracted or spot transport orders from shippers. A digital transport assignment platform replaces fragmented communication through telephone calls and emails with structured workflows for receiving loads, submitting offers, confirming assignments and exchanging shipment information.
What is Transporeon Transport Assignment for carriers?
Transporeon Transport Assignment is a digital freight assignment solution for carriers and logistics service providers. It allows carriers to receive contracted orders, submit spot offers and respond to targeted procurement proposals through one platform. Automated workflows and real-time updates help carriers reduce administration, find suitable loads and improve fleet utilisation.
What are the benefits of Transport Assignment for carriers?
Transport Assignment gives carriers a structured way to receive orders, submit offers and manage freight opportunities. It reduces manual communication, provides faster assignment notifications and makes shipment information easier to access. Better visibility of suitable loads can also help carriers use available capacity more effectively, reduce downtime and strengthen relationships with shippers.
How does Transport Assignment work for carriers?
A shipper publishes or assigns a transport using one of Transporeon’s assignment methods. The carrier receives the order, spot request or targeted price through the platform and responds according to the workflow. Depending on the method, the carrier may accept a contracted order, submit a spot offer or accept a proposed rate. Confirmation and transport details are then exchanged digitally.
What types of freight assignments can carriers receive?
Carriers can receive both contracted and spot freight assignments. Contracted transports are handled through No-touch Order, while Best Carrier allows carriers to submit offers for spot shipments. Autonomous Procurement sends selected carriers individually calculated spot rates that they can accept without participating in a traditional bidding process.
How can Transport Assignment help carriers increase profitability?
Transport Assignment can support profitability by reducing administrative effort, limiting vehicle downtime and helping carriers find loads that match available capacity. Digital workflows also allow teams to respond to opportunities faster and spend less time on emails, calls and manual order entry. Actual financial results depend on accepted rates, operating costs, fleet utilisation and the suitability of available freight.
