Challenges

  • Demanding customers.
  • Urge to quickly find cost-effective capacity among the vetted H.Essers subcontracting carriers for charters in regions not typically served by H.Essers own trucks and for overflow cargo.
  • Streamlining the chartering process, from offer to payment, so that both H.Essers and the carrier can focus more on the service and less on the clerical tasks.

Solution

  • Auto Match was rolled out across a large base of their carriers in Europe, initially in markets like Austria, Germany, Denmark, and Poland.
  • This brings AI into a high-frequency, data-driven decision of chartering spot moves with 3rd party carriers: to whom to offer work to, at what price, and in what timeline.
