What advantages does rail freight offer?
Freight transportation by train offers many advantages that make it attractive to a wide range of companies, and private individuals also choose the respective mode of transportation. Check out some of the key benefits:
- High carrying capacity and efficiency – the railway transport system is capable of transporting large volumes of cargo efficiently and at the same time economically;
- Lower costs – rail freight transport can be more economical compared to other modes of transport, especially when it is necessary to travel long distances and the loads are large;
- Relatively low impact on the environment – compared to other modes of transportation, rail transportation is more environmentally friendly. Although the creation of railway infrastructure may initially require quite significant resources, in the long term, less pollution is created in the transportation process;
- Stability and safety – the rail network is more stable and safer than some other modes of transport such as roads. This can be an especially important factor if you need to transport dangerous goods;
- Accuracy – rail transport offers accuracy in terms of timetables. Compared to road transport, which can be subject to various traffic challenges or bad weather conditions, the rail transport system is able to ensure accuracy and predictability in terms of delivery time.
The respective advantages make rail freight transportation an optimal choice for companies in various industries, especially when it is necessary to efficiently transport large volumes of cargo over considerable distances.
How does the Cargologs platform work?
It is very easy to receive the necessary cargo transportation services on the Cargologs platform – you only need to take two steps:
- Register by creating your own account – it can be created separately by both companies and individuals, as well as carriers. During registration, you will need to provide the most important information about yourself and/or your company;
- Submit a request – after confirmation of registration, you can immediately submit an application to receive the most suitable offer for you from well-known and competitive companies in the transport industry, which have registered in large numbers on the Cargologs platform. You will be able to choose the most suitable offer, taking into account the status of the carrier, the cost of delivery or the time of delivery.
In addition, we offer not only rail freight transportation, but also additional services useful for this process, such as automatically generated cargo documents and cargo labels. Within the platform, you can correspond with the selected transport company if you have any questions or uncertainties.
After that, the company that provides cargo transportation makes marks on the platform about the delivery status. When the delivery has been made, the customer receives a notification about it and can make a confirmation with a request for an invoice for the delivery made. It should be noted that for additional security and monitoring, it is possible to carry out photo-fixation of the cargo both before the shipment is unloaded and after its delivery to the specific destination.
Rail freight is just one of the services you will find on the Cargologs platform – we also offer sea, air and land freight. Choose the most suitable service for you, but if you have any questions, contact us by filling out the contact form in the Contacts section of the website, or by calling the phone number +371 20212312!
Cargo photo fixation
Cargologs has developed a new and friendly solution for shipment monitoring and quality assurance. You are given the opportunity to photograph the cargo before the shipment is loaded and place the captured images in the Cargologs platform. These marks can be made not only by the shipper himself, but also by the carrier before the load is loaded. Also, upon receipt of the shipment or delivery of the cargo to the agreed address, a photo fixation can be performed to compare the condition and quality of the delivery. These documentation are not mandatory, but are desirable for successful cooperation between shipper and carrier.
Cargo stickers
Cargo stickers are generated for each shipment, according to the quantity and contents of the packages. A QR code is generated next to each sticker, which acts as a key for the carrier to receive the shipment. Cargo stickers can be affixed to the cargo so that the carrier can identify which consignment should be delivered to which address. The cargo label contains all the necessary information that is entered at the time of creating the application. It also shows information about the transport company that makes the delivery, as well as the carrier’s information – telephone number, name and surname, as well as the vehicle registration number.
Cargo accompanying documents
Cargologs has developed the automatic generation of CMR and Bill of lading cargo documents. The documents are generated after the transport application is approved. These documents can be downloaded or printed on the Cargologs platform as needed. The documents are available to both applicants and carriers. When you add them, the information is automatically saved for the other party. This automatic generation of documents improves the quality of the work and the documentation for both parties, as a result of which both parties save time on their creation and can devote free time to more important work, promoting productivity. It is in Cargologs interest to provide a full service, as a result of which applicants can focus on their daily work in promoting their sales and always be sure that the best transport offer is chosen. As well as transport companies improve their quality by devoting less time to customer acquisition and documentation, instead they are given the opportunity to focus on making offers and organizing transport.
Invoices
We often face overdue bills on a daily basis and to reduce the number of such cases, Cargologs has developed a solution. As a result, the applicants would be both applicants and carriers. Timely invoicing and timely payment facilitates business operations. Therefore, on the Cargologs platform, transport companies can choose to automatically generate an invoice from Cargologs or add their own invoice after the delivery. The invoice contains the necessary information about the delivery and the details of the two companies and the amounts previously agreed. Optionally (automatically generated Cargologs invoice or invoice created by the transport company) invoices are sent to the e-mail specified by the applicant. If the customer has not made a payment, you have every right to re-invoice or correspond with the customer for payment. Both parties have the right to inform Cargologs about the failed cooperation and as a result the cooperation with Cargologs will be evaluated in order to prevent further dishonest actions.
