Who uses XCargo?
Discover how forwarders benefit
Logistics planners need to know what’s going on in their logistics network, from the current degree of service to targeted costs and real costs, to expected performance demands.
Use XCargo to keep everything in view. As an Excel-based software solution, it simulates changes and how these affect the entire system. It enables you to see real figures and scenarios in a model of your whole system and then use these as well-founded and transparent foundations for decision making.
Successful calls for bids begin with proper preparation. If you word your calls efficiently you can get twice the benefit. Then you can evaluate the bids comprehensively. The bids you get will be of better quality and greater reliability, and your transport costs will be lower.
Throughout the entire process, use XCargo to give you a standardized tool for planning and evaluating offers. Apply different freight rates to one and the same shipment and then choose the most cost-efficient service provider. This also benefits your procurement manager: if you need a service provider for specific shipments, your price inquiries will get fast and reliable replies.
It’s not enough to plan and then select a logistics service provider and get your goods transported—you still have to audit. Use the many supportive functions within XCargo to easily evaluate invoices.
Who uses XCargo?
Discover how service providers benefit
Efficiently plan your transport network: whether you need to plan hubs, logistics relations or regions of supply and distribution, you can have a strategic advantage.
This planning tool offers a wide range of options, from the analysis of your present network to visualizing potential scenarios. How do transport channels change? How can you save time and money? Let XCargo show you. Use route planning, too, to optimize processes and use your resources in the most profitable way.
Calls for bids are often very complex. Besides the shipping data, they often also stipulate very specific freight rates. This can make working out an offer a real challenge.
Use XCargo to help you validate and analyze shipping data and review the costs. Set up margin models and work with margin structures. Writing up your offers can be enhanced by the automatic creation of tailored freight matrixes that contain integrated freight rate optimization.
Know your costs! Use the XCargo cost calculator to analyze your shipments and see them shown graphically on maps.
Controllers can easily compare forwarders’ offers with real shipments and shipping patterns (that result from the bidding process with real shipping structures).
