Orchestrated transport, an efficient symphony

  • Well-orchestrated logistics partnerships cuts costs and CO2 emissions
  • Cost savings of 10-20 % and CO2 emissions of 20-50 %, depending on the business case and transport modes

Tri-Vizor functions as an intermediary or third-party link between companies with compatible supply chains interested in sharing supply chain capacity. Tri-Vizor identifies bundling opportunities by geography, industry sector, transport mode or freight type. The starting point is a geographic visualisation of bundling opportunities, generated by matching your company’s freight flows with those of other shippers in their database.

Bringing together a number players, the Tri-Vizor platform proves that 'orchestrated collaboration' in shipping and transport is not only feasible but desirable. Collaborations or partnerships are regulated by a specially developed legal framework or 'multilateral horizontal collaboration contract', which defines the role and EU standing of intermediaries or 'orchestrators' like Tri-Vizor.

Key benefits

When shippers agree to launch a partnership, Tri-Vizor acts as the new 'community' architect and collaboration manager. With the setup of the community, the manager implements a legal framework with multilateral contracts that define the rules of engagement and secures the mechanisms for community entry, exit, gain-sharing and volume variations. The community manager then implements the processes, supported by software that makes it possible to maximise the total cost and CO2 savings. It also delivers the gain-sharing, triggers the freight billing process and carries out reporting on the community portal. All members of a community are connected to this portal, which offers real-time visibility of their shipments. The community manager uses this information to guide management meetings, aimed at problem-solving, continuous improvement and expansion opportunities.

Tri-Vizor logistics collaborations, including multimodal transport, can cut costs by 10-20 % and CO2 emissions by 20-50 %, depending on the business case and the transport modes used.
