5PL & Digital Supply Chain Integrations

Automation and digital platforms

Leave the routine work to the platform, and keep time for the exceptions.

Schematic illustration of automation and digital platforms

Much of the work in a transport department is repetition: passing on orders, chasing arrival times by phone, checking rates and following up on additional costs. Logistics automation takes over those tasks. With OrangeChain, Noventra’s digital transport platform, recurring steps run automatically. Your staff can then focus on the shipments that really need attention.

01

What does OrangeChain automate?

Order processing
Transport orders come in automatically and are offered to the appropriate carrier, in line with the agreements that apply to your organisation.

Rate calculation
Carriers’ rate cards, with their own tiers and units, are loaded into OrangeChain. Every order is automatically calculated at the correct rate. This makes manually checking freight invoices a great deal simpler. New rates may come from a Carrier Tendering, for example.

Progress and arrival times
Status information from carriers comes in automatically. The platform adjusts the expected arrival window as soon as the situation changes.

Alerts for deviations
You automatically receive an alert when an order needs attention. You decide how often.

Deviations and additional costs
Requests for additional costs are submitted and assessed digitally, with fixed response times. Everything stays recorded and traceable.

Reports
Performance and cost overviews are compiled automatically at regular intervals, and outstanding claims are clearly listed together.

02

One environment for all parties

OrangeChain is not a stand-alone system for your organisation only. Shippers, carriers and Noventra work in the same environment. Agreements and communication are recorded centrally, so nobody has to search through mailboxes or loose notes.

03

The benefits of a digital transport platform

  • Less routine work for your logistics department
  • Automatic rate checks per order
  • Immediate flagging of orders that need attention
  • Everything recorded: from order to proof of delivery and additional costs
  • Scalable: more volume without a proportional increase in manual work

The platform works best in combination with Digital supply chain integration, so that the submission of orders is fully automated as well.
