Freight Exchange
The demands placed on cost-effective transport planning are constantly increasing. At the same time, vehicle capacity remains underutilised, empty runs incur avoidable costs, and valuable transport contracts are lost because suitable partners cannot be found in time. Many companies still operate using isolated networks, manual enquiries and different platforms.
The addHelix Freight Exchange platform creates a central digital hub for the exchange of freight and capacity. It connects freight forwarders, shippers, partner companies and external freight exchanges to form a high-performance network that significantly improves reach, capacity utilisation and collaboration.
Transport services can be offered, found and awarded directly within existing processes – without any disruption to workflows and without the need for duplicate data entry. At the same time, all participants benefit from a growing ecosystem that opens up new business opportunities and enables existing resources to be utilised more efficiently.
