- ZF SCALAR’s orchestration platform enhances cargo tracking by
leveraging Shippeo
- Carriers benefit from highly accurate real-time operational
visibility over their flows, and predictive Estimated Time of
Arrival (ETA) information
- Subcontractors gain visibility independent of the telematics
solution they use
ZF's SCALAR orchestration platform offers advanced cargo
track-and-trace capabilities, powered by leveraging Shippeo’s
multimodal real-time transportation visibility solution. This
enhanced platform provides carriers with highly accurate, real-time
visibility of their consignments, enabling them to build more
resilient and customer-centric supply chains.
The collaboration effectively integrates Shippeo’s advanced
tracking technologies spanning road, air, and ocean shipments into
ZF's SCALAR orchestration platform. By providing real-time and
predictive visibility, logistics providers can minimize potential
delays while optimizing line-haul and delivery efficiencies and
improve on-time deliveries.
Hjalmar van Raemdonck, ZF’s VP SCALAR in the division Commercial
Vehicle Solutions said: “The integration of Shippeo’s real-time
visibility into the SCALAR orchestration platform helps to simplify
the complexities of modern logistics, enabling carriers to
strengthen the resilience and reliability of their line-haul
networks. By providing an additional layer of visibility, our
logistics customers will be able to orchestrate their fleets with
enhanced precision, enabling them to optimize routes, minimize
delays, and improve overall supply chain efficiency.”
Pierre Khoury, CEO & Co-founder Shippeo: "We're incredibly
proud to collaborate with a global automotive leader like ZF. By
leveraging Shippeo's advanced visibility platform, ZF will be
empowered to optimize carrier transportation capacity, ensuring
on-time delivery at the best possible price. Furthermore, Shippeo's
end-to-end visibility will provide ZF with a more sustainable
supply chain.”
Integrating cargo visibility into SCALAR provides carriers equal
real-time ETA visibility for both trailer and truck. Carriers
relying solely on trailer tracking solutions find it particularly
advantageous, especially when trailers are picked up by different
trucks, whether equipped with telematics or not. With the Shippeo
integration carriers also gain valuable insights into subcontractor
performance, enabling them to streamline their operational
processes. Furthermore carriers have easy access to accurate CO2
emission reports per transport order, enabling them to reduce their
environmental impact.
