Partial and full loads: efficient transport control across the entire supply chain

Partial and full loads form part of the daily core business of many forwarders. At the same time, requirements for transparency, flexibility and economic efficiency are constantly increasing. Different load sizes, tight time slots and changing transport partners make precise planning and smooth communication indispensable.

At a glance:
The benefits of CarLo

The transport management system (TMS) CarLo replaces isolated stand-alone solutions and manual processes with a comprehensive system. The software digitises and automates the entire workflow–from order entry and intelligent tour planning to seamless consignment tracking and automatic calculation.

Higher profitability

Higher return per mileage thanks to fewer empty routes and perfect utilisation of resources.

Faster handling

Significant relief for dispatchers by eliminating manual entries and follow-ups.

Transparency

Shorter waiting times thanks to continuous, traffic-data-based live ETA calculation and proactive communication with loading and unloading points.

Continuous flow of information

Seamless connection of planning, your own drivers and subcontractors without any media breaks.

Accelerated cash flow

Faster calculation thanks to digital document management and mobile upload of proof of delivery (POD).

CarLo features:
strategic advantages for your dispatchers

CarLo reduces complexity through the use of intelligent algorithms and automated workflows. The system actively supports your dispatchers in the day-to-day optimisation of all transport processes.

Digital support for partial loads

The handling of partial loads requires an intelligent combination of planning, communication and optimum resource utilisation. CarLo supports dispatchers with automated processes and digital workflows.

  • Efficient consignment consolidation: Consignments can be optimally bundled based on destination regions, delivery dates and capacities.
  • Optimised tour planning: Intelligent tour planning supports the best possible vehicle utilisation.
  • Tracking and status messages: Transports remain transparent and traceable at all times.
  • More efficient planning: Centralised management of all processes reduces manual tasks.

This not only makes it easier to manage partial loads but also allows them to be utilised more economically and sustainably.

Efficient management of full loads (FTL)

Digital support also ensures greater transparency and more efficient processes for full loads. CarLo accompanies the entire FTL process, from order entry to delivery.

  • Quick planning and vehicle allocation: Transports can be planned efficiently and allocated to suitable vehicles.
  • Tracking and ETA notifications: Customers and dispatchers receive current status information at any time via various channels, such as the portal or by e-mail.
  • Digital documentation: Waybills, proofs of delivery and dispatch information are managed centrally.

As a result, full loads are not only carried out efficiently, but also documented transparently and can be traced on a system basis.

Case study
How Timelog24 Maximized Efficiency with CarLo

The collaboration with Timelog24 GmbH demonstrates how efficiently digital transport processes can be implemented in practice. The company uses CarLo as its central platform for transport management and has successfully integrated the software into its existing workflows. As a result, numerous day-to-day processes have been optimized and made more transparent.

The following improvements are particularly noteworthy:

  • Optimized process control: Thanks to CarLo’s flexible customization options, individual requirements in logistics management could be efficiently mapped and implemented.
  • Reduced administrative workload: Digital, centrally managed processes simplify daily dispatching and minimize manual work steps.
  • High system stability: Even with large data volumes and intensive use, CarLo delivers reliable performance in ongoing operations.
  • Efficient collaboration: Close support and fast assistance ensured a smooth implementation and supported the long-term expansion of digital processes.
  • Continuous development: Regular updates and new features enable Timelog24 to continuously further optimize its logistics processes.

By using CarLo, Timelog24 has been able to sustainably improve the planning, control, and monitoring of its transport processes while increasing efficiency and transparency in day-to-day operations.
