Surface transportation in the United States has a spend of US$ 800 billion and is prone to frequent fragmentation, giving rise to the cycles of boom and bust. Trucks are the lynchpins of the American economy and over 72% of consumable goods are moved through different parts of the country through it. They are a critical component of the supply-chain for goods arriving on ships, both domestic and international.

With this new launch, ECU360 wants to empower freight forwarders with a digital solution that helps in booking their required load to the destination along with transparency in rates. It cuts down the tedious process of obtaining quotes to tracking the status of the shipment at a click of button and within few seconds. The platform is end-to-end and enables freight forwarders to manage and optimize their on-ground transportation needs across the zip codes in partnership with over 120 Intermodal carriers with a click of button, stevedoring companies, and portside operation facilities to provide complete service and coverage for all USA/Canada ports and ramps.

Niels Nielsen, Regional Head USA & Canada, ECU Worldwide, said, “We are enabling shippers by providing them with the accurate data on a real-time basis, and empowering them with an on-ground logistics solution that is built to suit their requirement, giving them flexibility and control over the movement of their freight. Digitalization is the future of freight, enabling automation of capacity booking, shipment visibility, and analytics. The launch of trucking services on ECU360 is the due course of evolution and the response from the customers has been encouraging as they adopt the platform.”
