Saloodo! connects shippers and carriers in international markets; Digital freight platform is available on 4 continents and in more than 50 countries; Saloodo! is the most international digital road freight platform in the world.
The logistics start-up Saloodo! remains on course for expansion. The digital platform is now ready to be used globally for road freight transports.
A milestone in the still young company history, which has been sustainably and strategical well prepared.
The intuitive and user-friendly digital road freight platform was launched in Germany in 2017 and has grown continuously since then.
Initially Saloodo! was available in several other European countries, while expanding rapidly into emerging markets outside Europe like Middle East and Africa.
For Saloodo! CEO Thomas Grunau the roll out comes at exactly the right time:
“Saloodo! was founded 4 years ago. Since day one, our goal has been to offer our customers real added value and make their lives easier.
With this in mind, we have always given ourselves the freedom to develop functions that are close to the needs of our customers in different markets.
But now it was time to bring it all together on one platform so that Saloodo! customers around the world could benefit from all these efforts”.
Saloodo! connects international markets
The global platform not only extends the range of functions, but also links the individual markets together.
It is now possible, for example, to arrange international transports from the EU to Turkey or to Middle East & Africa (MEA) and vice versa.
Saloodo! thus ensures seamless cross-border and cross-market transport processing – and becomes even more attractive for large, globally active companies.
“We are already working with a number of global players. These customers have a high degree of digitalisation and operate worldwide with seamless processes.
On the part of their transport and logistics providers, this often looks different, resulting in disruptions in the companies’ supply chain,”
“With the global digital road freight platform, we at Saloodo! can make precisely these processes more efficient and economical – worldwide.”, explains Anja Kappus, COO Saloodo!.
The launch of the global platform will not only unite the markets. From now on Saloodo! customers will also benefit from all features developed so far in the individual regions.
“For example, customers in our region will now also benefit from the improved and further simplified user experience of the new Saloodo! interface.
Furthermore, the global platform offers improved functionalities for organising convoy shipments, which is a big advantage.,” explains Tobias Maier, CEO Saloodo! MEA.
Conversely, European shippers will be able to order truck transports in convoy for the first time.
This option has been extensively tested in the MEA regions in advance, and shippers of high-value goods in particular appreciate the security benefits of convoy transports.
A new feature that will also be introduced for the European road freight market in the near future is the possibility to submit transport offers via WhatsApp.
Transport service providers can be informed about new transport requests via WhatsApp and then enter their offer.
If the shipper agrees to the offer, the service provider will be informed and all transport-relevant information and documents will be sent automatically to him.
Just four years after its founding, the logistics startup is rolling out its digital road freight platform worldwide, setting an unprecedented milestone in digital road transport platforms.
