addHelix Mobile vs. SmartLink Data: The comparison

"Our answer to complex logistics requirements: addHelix Mobile App and SmartLink Data Service" 

Modern logistics requires flexible solutions. Companies are faced with the challenge of efficiently coordinating their own drivers as well as integrating external freight forwarders. This dual requirement often carries the risk of inefficiencies and communication problems if suitable tools are not available. 

Our specially developed addHelix mobile app offers a comprehensive solution for companies that manage their own drivers or partners. But how do you keep track when orders are handed over to carriers and their drivers are not registered in your system - or when your drivers can't download an app? This is where our versatile SmartLink Data service comes into play. It offers the flexibility you need to maintain an overview and ensure efficient processes even in situations like these.

Both solutions - addHelix Mobile App and SmartLink Data - provide dispatchers and customers with the necessary information and enable deliveries to be tracked. This ensures that everyone involved is up to date.
