Who we serve
Shippers
Our customer base primarily consists of shippers and carriers. Shippers are either businesses or individuals that need to move goods from one location to another. They can be manufacturers, retailers, wholesalers, or any organization that requires transportation of products to customers, distribution centers, or other facilities. Shippers aim to find reliable and cost-effective carriers to transport their goods efficiently and on time.
Carriers
Carriers are the companies or individuals responsible for transporting goods on behalf of the shippers. They provide physical transportation services, which can include trucking companies, freight forwarders, shipping lines, airlines, or rail operators. Carriers seek to maximize the utilization of their fleet and assets by securing consistent business from shippers, filling their vehicles to capacity, and avoiding empty runs. Their profitability depends on optimizing routes, maintaining schedules, and keeping operational costs low.
The Inter Dependency
Shippers prioritize transportation costs, transit times, reliability, and the safe delivery of goods, while carriers focus on maximizing fleet utilization by securing consistent business, filling vehicles to capacity, and avoiding empty runs. Shippers rely on carriers for transport, and carriers depend on shippers for business, creating a mutually beneficial relationship where shippers receive timely, cost-effective service, and carriers optimize their operations.
At CtrlChain, we facilitate the relationship between Shippers and Carriers with an aim to achieve increased efficiency and effectiveness on both ends.
Our future under NewCold’s umbrella
Our vision for the future is to continue driving logistics automation by developing a control center that streamlines and digitizes processes for both shippers and carriers.
