    PRESS RELEASE LOSTnFOUND AG is cooperating with TimoCom Tracking solutions via TC eMap® tracking facility Düsseldorf, 7th May 2013. The telematics and tracking systems of LOSTnFOUND are a permanent factor in day-to-day business in the transport industry. Similarly, a large part of companies involved in the transport sector utilise the freight and warehousing exchange of TimoCom. Now, both companies are working together and, as a result, they can provide unique offers to their customers in terms of effectiveness and safety. The idea sounds very simple to begin with: Many carriers and freight forwarders use on-line freight allocation platforms in order to avoid empty trips and thus, achieve extra revenue. In order to enhance the safety for freight providers and contractors, there is, in fact, nothing better than the integration of telematics solutions in the allocation platforms. So far, however, such cooperation between telematics providers and transport exchanges has been sought in vain. However, this is exactly the step that LOSTnFOUND and TimoCom are now taking. The company based in Düsseldorf has completely revised its calculation and route planner TC eMap® and supplemented it with a tracking feature. The tracking features of LOSTnFOUND can be located with the help of this feature. This innovation is being showcased at the transport logistic 2013 trade fair to the public in Munich for the first time. Safety, Efficiency and Competitive Edge The benefits are at hand. Customers of LOSTnFOUND can use TC eMap® directly, provided that they are also customers of TimoCom. In this manner, transport service providers can have their own vehicles tracked by a customer and also located vehicles of other parties on their own after this feature has been released for them.

  • The Impact of the Transportation Route on the Price for the Realized Transport
    The Archives of Automotive Engineering – Archiwum Motoryzacji Vol. 81, No. 3, 2018 5 THE IMPACT OF THE TRANSPORTATION ROUTE ON THE PRICE FOR THE REALIZED TRANSPORT SALVADOR HERNANDEZ1, JURAJ HAMMER2 Oregon State University, University of Zilina Summary The price for the transport is determined by the carriers based on the costs incurred when the carriers transporting. Carriers are currently able to identify variable costs, the height of which changes with the change in the realized output and also fixed costs, which are dependent on the operating time of the means of transport. Carriers have the differences in the cost of the shipment for each destination they judge through the differences in charges for the use of the road network. It is also necessary to consider the possibility to backhaul transportation the vehicle for concrete transportation. The aim of this article is to verify the hypothesis, whether the change of the transport route is affected at the carrier's expense and in case, that is to quantify the impact of the transport route to the price for the transport carried out. We assume the effect of changing the shipping route also changes over time, therefore, the goal of the contribution is to identify changes the impact of the shipping route on the price within one week and to identify whether changes are developing in individual countries in the same process. Research is conducted on the basis of a situation survey in 19 European countries over a period of more than 3 months. Keywords: transportation, freight transport, shipping offer, states of transport 1.

  • Exploring the Use of Freight Exchange E-Marketplaces in Sweden: the Perspective of the Transport Service Provider by Andres Rios
    Exploring the Use of Freight Exchange E-marketplaces in Sweden: The Perspective of the Transport Service Provider by Andres Rios Supervisor: Henrik Sternberg Examiner: Klas Hjort Department of Service Management, Logistics SMMM20 – Spring 2018 Campus Helsingborg, Sweden 2018 Abstract A statistic released this year (2018) by the World Road Transport Organization shows that more than 80% of inland freight is moved by road. Frequent e-commerce activities and end-consumer demands on delivery performance have increased transport needs yet fill rates have decreased. Transport is less efficient and unsustainable while profit margins also shrink, motivating fiercer competition among service providers. Thus, the freight transport industry is fragmented; changes take place independently, with little effect on an aggregate level. The industry lacks a unified model; there are many actors with different relationships and decision-making managed in-house. This unstable and competitive environment has reached new heights through the internet and the benefits that come with access to information worldwide. Among other technologies, business models known as business-to-business (B2B) marketplaces, also called electronic marketplaces (e-marketplaces or EMs) emerged during the 90s. They provide inter-organization information connectivity, real time visibility, and flexible partnership configurations. Specifically, their main purpose is to bring shippers and carriers together to trade goods, services and information. Several researchers have pointed that this topic is relevant and little research has been done around it. This thesis addresses that research gap and presents an exploratory study on the use of EMs among transport providers in Sweden. Although EMs emerged a few years back, they continue to grow in importance and adoption among freight transport stakeholders.

    Logistics buildings of tomorrow The impact of demographics, technology, urbanisation and sustainability on future buildings and locations Logistics Buildings of Tomorrow | 2020 Logistics Buildings of Tomorrow | 2020 Contents Introduction 3 Introduction Warehouses are here to stay, but what they look like and where Demographic change 4 they are located will change. Technological change 6 Urbanisation 8 Warehouses (or logistics buildings) are critical nodes in virtually every supply chain and will Sustainability 12 remain so for as long as materials and goods need to be stored, handled and moved. Although some commentators have suggested that economies are ‘de-materialising’ (for example, through Conclusions 17 digitisation and miniaturisation) – and there are many logistics techniques to reduce the need to hold inventory – global freight volumes are expected to triple by 2050.1 Therefore, in so far as there are any future certainties, the need for warehouses would appear to be one of these. This report is the first output in a new programme of research and insight designed to provide our views on how, within a predominantly European context, future warehouses may change from a building or location perspective. To help structure our thinking, we have looked at the potential impact of four megatrends that are widely thought to be driving change across every geography and industry: demographic change; technological change; urbanisation; and sustainability. Each of these is a massive subject area and this is a short report. Our approach, therefore, has been to dip into some of the research on each and then think through the implications for future warehouses. Our reasoning has been helped by two collaborative discussion workshops with some of our key clients (major warehouse developers, investors and occupiers), separate contact with 25 occupier clients, and an investigation into what leading companies are doing with their warehouses and networks through a case study approach.

Kasimati str., 18531 Piraeus, Greece {akac.attila, a.anagnostopoulou}@certh.gr 2School of Civil Engineering, Faculty of Engineering, Aristotle University of Thessaloniki, PO Box 452, 541 24 Thessaloniki, Greece [email protected] Abstract. New information technologies and international digitalization trends have led to the shifting of the norm in recent freight transport systems. Electronic marketplaces and digital freight transport platforms have emerged since the early 2000s’ as a result of the advances in information technology, plus B2B and B2C hubs have developed new tools to facilitate product and information exchange and support the negotiation, contracting, and settlement processes. In particular, freight logistics platforms have been largely investigated and operated by numer- ous members of the global freight industry, especially in North America, Aus- tralia, and Europe, focusing on load and truck booking/auctioning, load matching algorithms, and freight planning services. This paper proposes a categorization and analysis scheme which (i) presents the latest state of practice in freight transport platforms at a global level and (ii) focuses on their offered services in an attempt to categorize these platforms based on the applied services. In addi- tion, the freight exchange platforms adopted in the Balkan region are analyzed following the proposed scheme. As such, a mapping process is achieved and crit- ical issues are identified to be considered in developing a transnational freight logistics platform for the Balkan area.

  • Evaluating the Efficiency of Elms: an International Backhauling Perspective the Case of Poland - Sweden
    School of Economics and Management Department of Business Administration FEKN90 Business Administration - Degree Project Master of Science in Business and Economics Spring term of 2013 Evaluating the efficiency of ELMs: an international backhauling perspective The case of Poland - Sweden Authors: Fredrik Dafgård Eva-Lotta Szymkiewicz Supervisor: Claes Svensson Abstract: Title: Evaluating the efficiency of ELMs: an international backhauling perspective - The case of Poland-Sweden Authors: Eva-Lotta Szymkiewicz & Fredrik Dafgård Supervisor: Claes Svensson Seminar date: 30 May 2013 Course: FEKN90 Degree Project Master of Science in Business and Economics Key words: Electronic Logistic Marketplace, ELM, Backhauling, International, Evaluation, Poland, Sweden Purpose: The purpose of this thesis is to evaluate whether ELMs can reduce the empty running of trucks and give suggestions on how the ELMs can be improved. The purpose includes developing a theoretical evaluation framework of ELMs. Methodology: The study is qualitative with an abductive approach. We have developed a theoretical evaluation framework of ELMs based on existing theories. The framework has been applied on Poland-Sweden and two existing ELMs. Theoretical perspectives: We have used existing theories regarding ELMs, backhauling, international business and transaction costs. Additionally, theories regarding trust on ELMs have been applied. Empirical foundation: We conducted 14 semi-structured interviews; seven interviews with Polish carriers transporting between Sweden and Poland. The remaining seven interviews were made with Swedish SMEs exporting to Poland. Furthermore, we have analyzed official trade statistics and the websites of the two existing ELMs. Conclusions: By applying the theoretical evaluation framework on two existing ELMs, we came to the conclusion that the ELMs can increase international backhauling to some extent.

  • Competitiveness of Price in International Road Freight Transport
    Poliak, M., Poliakova, A., Svabova, L., Zhuravleva, A., N., & Nica, E. (2021). Competitiveness of Price in International Road Freight Transport. Journal of Competitiveness, 13(2), 83–98. https://doi.org/10.7441/ joc.2021.02.05 Competitiveness of Price in International Road Freight Transport ▪ Milos Poliak, Adela Poliakova, Lucia Svabova, Natalia Aleksandrovna Zhuravleva, Elvira Nica Abstract Over the last 30 years, the competition in road transport has increased significantly. For a transport company to maintain its position in the road freight transport market, the knowledge of the accurate costs arising from the transportation process is an important tool in the current competitive struggle. Carriers quantify the transportation costs in the process of price creation using the routes utilization coefficient, also taking into account routes with an empty vehicle. The value is usually set as a constant in the range from 0 to 1. The purpose of this paper is to show that it is more appropriate and economically feasible to consider this as a variable which depends on the direction as well as on the time of the transportation. In this analysis, a two- factor ANOVA model was applied to actual data of transport offers to Slovakia from 18 different countries recorded on a daily basis in a period of one year. The analysis shows that the direction of transportation is a significant factor in the offer, and therefore it is appropriate to include this factor in the price creation. The results of this analysis are in practice directly applicable to modify the calculation procedures and thus gain a competitive advantage for the transport operator in calculating the transportation price.
