Digital platform reduces costs and increases efficiency

All of which makes Saloodo! an optimal end-to-end solution for the entire shipping process.

More than just a freight exchange

Saloodo! also provides carriers with innovative functions that make their daily business routine easier and more efficient . The dynamic transport pricing calculator, which is based on real-time data and specially developed algorithms, helps carriers make their shipping offers more competitive.

Drivers are notified immediately, via the innovative Saloodo! driver app - also available in Dutch - of which order they will be handling. All the necessary information regarding pending delivery runs is sent directly to their smartphone. Proof of delivery, invoices and any damage during on- and off-loading can also be documented directly in the app. Saloodo! enables the entire shipment handling process to be digitally displayed and managed, including freight document administration, billing and payment.
