- SCALAR, ZF’s innovative 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
- Adding subcontractor visibility independent of telematics solution
Friedrichshafen, Germany. 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 minimise potential delays while optimising 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 optimise routes, minimise 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 optimise 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.
