Many businesses today move goods in inefficient ways, not necessarily through choice but due to the logistics industry relying heavily on legacy systems and opaque processes. As a result, the utilisation rate of vehicles on UK roads is only 47.5%. This reflects the equally shocking facts that the average vehicle fill is only 62% and 30% of vehicles on our roads are entirely empty. This simultaneously drives costs up for all supply chain players and the end consumer, but also generates significantly more carbon emissions than are necessary.
Chill-Chain’s licence product visualises the entire supply chain, in one place, delivering data that is consolidated in order to pinpoint inefficiencies. This simultaneously saves time and eliminates errors that come with manual processes. The data is translated into simple, customer-specific dashboards that give actionable insights into how savings can be realised.
This gives supply chain transparency and control that allows you to understand where and how you are spending money on your logistics. This can assist in reducing overheads or redeploying resources and is typically broken down into procurement, load fill and efficiencies.
Through understanding how to better fill their vehicles, our customers can realise substantial savings both in carbon and monetary costs.
Additionally, we operate a marketplace which exists as stand-alone software, as well as software that complements our licence product. The marketplace technology connects customers and haulage companies which allows, firstly, our customers to find cover for jobs with ease and at speed, and secondly, allows hauliers to fill otherwise empty or part-empty vehicles.
