You run the transport.
We run the technology behind it.
Transport now comes with technical obligations: electronic documents, electronic signatures, systems that must connect, data that must be right before anyone checks it. Logistics IT Management takes that work on for carriers and shippers, so the people who move freight are not the ones left to work out the software.
In short
- Logistics IT Management is a managed service that takes on the technical side of transport for carriers and shippers: documents, signatures, data and the systems between them.
- It exists because every new transport rule now arrives as a technical specification, and most transport companies have nobody whose job it is to meet it.
- You get back the hours that were going into software, and you stop carrying the risk of a sanction for data that was wrong on the day it was checked.
What is Logistics IT Management?
It is a service for carriers and shippers that takes on the technical side of running transport today. The electronic documents, the electronic signatures, the systems that have to connect to each other and the data that has to be right before it is checked: that work moves to people who do it every day, and your company goes back to moving freight.
The idea is simple. Larger operators absorbed digitalisation with an IT department. Most transport companies do not have one, and the obligations arrived anyway. Somebody in the office became the IT person on top of their real job, deadlines were met at the last minute, and every new requirement cost a week that should have gone to customers. This service gives that work an owner.
It is run by the team that builds CargoPay, which is where most of the work gets done, but it starts from how your company works, not from which software it uses.
Why does a transport company need this now?
Because the rules moved from paper to systems, and each of them came with a technical specification: formats, links, codes, signature levels, timestamps, retention. The rule is aimed at the transport company; the specification is written for an engineer. Having a platform helps, but it does not remove the work of setting it up, keeping the data right, showing people what to do and answering when something does not open at a check.
| Carrying the technical side yourself | With Logistics IT Management |
|---|---|
| A new rule arrives as a specification you have to read | A new rule arrives as a change we have already made |
| Someone in the office becomes the IT person on top of their job | The office does the office job; the technical side has an owner |
| Data is typed again into each new tool, and each copy can be wrong | Data is entered once and kept consistent across the tools |
| A document that will not open at a check is your problem, that day | A document that will not open is our problem, and we already know your setup |
| Deadlines are met at the last minute, if at all | Deadlines are on our calendar before they are on yours |
| Every supplier support line starts from zero | One contact, and they already know how you work |
What do we take on?
Everything a transport rule or a customer now expects you to do through a system rather than on paper. The list below is where most companies start; what we take on is agreed with you, around how your company actually works.
Electronic transport documents
Set up, issued correctly and kept in line with what the rules ask for, in every country you work in.
Electronic signature
The right level of signature, in place and working for the people who actually sign, without anybody having to learn what the levels mean.
The data behind the documents
Company details, vehicles, parties and references kept correct at the source, so a document is not wrong on the day it is inspected.
Systems that talk to each other
The platform, the tools you already use and the portals your customers ask you to use, connected so the same information is not typed three times.
Your people
Drivers and office staff shown what to do, once, in their own language, with someone to ask when the screen does not match the instructions.
When something breaks
One contact who already knows your setup, instead of a support line that starts by asking which version you are on.
What comes next
Rules change and new ones arrive. You hear about them from us, with the change already planned, rather than from a fine.
And whatever else the technical side asks of you
The list above is where most companies start. What we take on is agreed with you, around how your company actually works.
How does it work?
Three steps, and only the first one needs your time.
We look at how you work today
What you move, for whom, which documents and tools are already involved, and where the time and the mistakes currently go. No form to fill in first: a conversation.
We set up and take over the technical side
The documents, the signatures, the data and the connections, put in place and handed to your people in a form they can use on day one.
We keep it working and keep it current
The setup is watched, the rules are followed as they change, and your people have someone to call. You stop thinking about it, which is the result you are paying for.
Who is it for?
Carriers and shippers. The obligations are different, the gap is the same: work that has to be done through a system, and nobody at the company whose job it is.
If you are a carrier
- Your drivers carry documents that must open at a roadside check, and you are the one who is fined if they do not.
- Each customer sends a different portal, a different format and a different way to sign.
- The office is two people, and neither of them was hired to read technical specifications.
If you are a shipper
- Your obligations as the contracting party do not disappear because the carrier issues the document.
- Half your carrier base has no IT department, and their gaps show up on your loads.
- Your customers, auditors and insurers now ask for data, not photocopies.
Why the team behind CargoPay?
A general IT provider knows servers. The technical side of transport is about consignment notes, control documents, signature levels and roadside checks, and it helps if the people holding it have built those things.
People who know transport, not just software
The service is run by the team that builds CargoPay: a shipment management system, an eCMR, a DeCA issuer and a dock scheduler. They know what a roadside check looks like.
One place instead of six suppliers
Documents, signatures, dock slots and payment already live on one platform, so the technical side has one owner instead of one per tool.
Trilingual, end to end
English, Spanish and Romanian: the platform, the documents and the people you talk to.
Built for the rules you actually face
The platform already carries what European road freight requires, and the service exists to keep you on the right side of it as it changes.
