How has A3Logics created a powerful freight-matching, load-board
solution for the transportation and logistics industry!
The client, looking to build a freight-matching load-board solution, has more than 28 years of experience in the transportation and logistics industry. Our client has worked with some highly renowned shipping and logistics companies across the globe. While working as a platoon leader, the client carried freight from one location to another for logistics companies. The client also has good experience in providing training to logistics workers and building high-performing teams to conduct transportation, maintenance and shipping operations.
To build a reliable and powerful load-board solution, the client was seeking the assistance of a reliable, enterprise-wide transportation and logistics solution provider who can turn his powerful idea into a useful product that can benefit carriers, brokers and the overall logistics industry in general.
The company is committed to solving the logistics and transportation problems like rising costs, tighter delivery windows, poor transparency, capacity constraints, etc., by building advanced software solutions that automate the process of freight matching. We are also working in the direction of providing more online options to brokers and carriers in the transportation domain for better communication to perform load transactions faster and get paid easily with zero hassle.
Below are the aspects that were covered as per the client’s needs by the A3Logics team. Take a look:
1. Firstly, the client has set expectations with the A3Logics development team to build a powerful and reliable freight-matching platform that enables load carriers and brokers to find each other online easily and enter into agreements for the movement of freight from one place to another. The idea behind this from the client was to simplify the life of freight carriers, brokers and shippers by offering them a powerful load board solution with 24/7 accessibility, leveraging cutting-edge technology.
2. The client has also made up his mind to create an online load-board solution that enables brokers/shippers to post their freight data on the platform in a fully automated manner, both from the platform and third-party TMS. The challenge for our development team was to execute and integrate autoloader functionality in the freight-matching platform for the convenience of the carriers and shippers.
3. Another challenge was to create a freight platform that is highly configurable and is available 24/7 for brokers and shippers to perform freight transactions. The client also wanted a leaderboard solution that can easily cover a broad spectrum of freight transactions, right from load post and load search to fast load upload via file transfer protocol (FTP). To achieve this, the building of plug-and-play architecture and support of robust APIs was mandatory.
4. Last but not least, the client was also looking for an online load-board solution which is highly secure, reliable and contains a user-friendly interface so that brokers and shippers can easily search and enter their load details without being a technology experts.
To serve the client’s request of creating an online freight-matching service platform that enables brokers and carriers to connect seamlessly with others for performing freight transactions, the project requirement analysis team has conducted detailed research to outline a detailed development strategy in front of the client.
Also, to develop the leaderboard solution with expected features, it was decided that the freight-matching marketplace will be built using tools & technologies like Go, Node.js, Vue.js and Google Cloud platform by the development team.
To enable the automatic load functionality in the digital leaderboard, our development team has integrated the autoloader function that enables brokers/shippers to upload bulk load details using any file format. Our freight-matching platform extracts the load details automatically from such bulk freight information to make the load posting task convenient and easy for shippers/brokers.
Finally, to make the platform configurable and scalable, it was built using multi-tenant SaaS architecture and hosted on the Google Cloud Platform. Adding new freight-matching capabilities and carrying out freight transactions securely can also be done easily using our user-friendly and reliable loadboard solution.
