By leveraging big data analysis, BBTruck’s platform automatically allocates the most suitable transport fleet, maximizing logistics resource efficiency, cutting empty truck rates by nearly 75% and improving order placement and cargo tracking efficiency by over 40%, resulting in significant cost savings for customers.
Additionally, BBTruck offers a real-time cloud data center that lets enterprises monitor capacity data, track shipments, and view routes via an intuitive user interface. The platform’s API integration facilitates seamless data exchange across multiple carriers and freight companies, streamlining orders placement, shipments tracking, and document retrieval from a single interface. This integration significantly reduces manpower costs and enhances the overall logistics experience.
