A Revolutionary Online Marketplace: Shipsta Launches a Platform for Digital Procurement of Freight Rates
A Revolutionary Online Marketplace: Shipsta Launches a Platform for Digital Procurement of Freight Rates Manufacturing companies can easily buy freight volumes digitally with SHIPSTA. Due to new digital technologies, tendering processes can be analysed in seconds. This doesn’t just save time, but also money – as well as the cheaper transportation of goods, there’s a saving of up to 65 percent when it comes to process costs. The system even does tasks that previously had to be laboriously done by hand, for example plausibility checks for offers. At the same time, it creates transparency like never before: shippers are kept informed of the current status of tenders and can contact freight forwarders at any time. Next Generation E-Procurement: SHIPSTA FLEX Democratises Freight Procurement SHIPSTA FLEX forms the core of the SHIPSTA concept – whether for spot buying, short-term day-to-day procurement, contract buying or long-term contracts. Many tedious steps become a thing of the past as soon as shippers and carriers go online with the SHIPSTA platform. Instead of using phone, e-mail and fax, the procurement of freight volumes – i.e. the whole procurement process – takes place entirely through SHIPSTA. Everything starts here with the shipper’s tendering process, the request for quotation (RFQ). This is where the time, length and size of freight volumes are offered. The shipper receives the outcome of the tender, the ‘tender evaluation’, in two clicks – instead of in two weeks as before. As the status and the position of the tender can be seen at any time and only certified service providers are allowed to use SHIPSTA, the parties involved also don’t have to worry about making their own enquiries and checks. As such, SHIPSTA FLEX offers a professional, efficient and flexible e-procurement solution for medium-sized and large companies. “We have finally made our dream come true with SHIPSTA – developing an autonomous and transparent platform for the digital procurement of freight volumes that can be used by companies of any size,” says Christian Wilhelm, SHIPSTA founder and CEO. “Those who work with our marketplace benefit from more digitisation, networking and automation.” About SHIPSTA Press contact: End of Media Release Issuer: SHIPSTA Key word(s): Traffic
