Factoring dedicated to transport companies allows for quick payment for completed orders. In turn, support from lawyers with narrow specialization allows for the protection of the carrier’s interests. Finance and insurance, advanced certification, and the latest tools – the market for expert services for transport is developing rapidly. The TransPoland 2017 International Transport and Logistics Exhibition is an opportunity to exchange knowledge about optimal solutions for the industry.
The TSL sector requires its own range of services that streamline the operations of all participants in the supply chain. During the 5th TransPoland 2017 International Transport and Logistics Exhibition, companies forming the Trans.eu Group will present facilities that influence the development of companies in the industry.
Securing finances in transport
Matching appropriate financial solutions means maintaining financial liquidity – especially in the case of late payments for transport orders. As data shows, as many as 55% of invoices are not settled on time, which is why factoring is gaining popularity in the industry. Thanks to this service, principals receive payment for completed transport goals in as little as 48 hours. However, in the case of overdue payments, the help of debt collectors may prove necessary. Specialists will explain how the TransFactor and TransInkasso offer supports the finances of a company from the TSL sector.
Optimal OC/AC policy
Another important topic concerns transport insurance. Mandatory policies differ in guarantee sums, clauses, and premium amounts. It is not only the low monthly fee that counts, but above all, protection against every risk. The TransBrokers company deals with negotiating favorable insurance terms for carriers and forwarders. Brokers will advise event participants on how to reduce monthly expenses for AC and OC policies while simultaneously strengthening the company’s security.
Safe supply chain – how to take care of the company’s interests?
Not only insurance serves to protect the company and transactions: appropriate certification also counts. A novelty in Poland is ISO 28000 for the TSL industry, which is an international standard for a supply chain management system. The solution distinguishes only a few companies in the country. Experts from Trans28000 will talk about what the audit looks like and who can apply for the certificate. An additional step towards a safe company is the support of a law firm that specializes in serving transport companies. TransLawyers lawyers rely on experience in the field of transport law. This means quick action when it comes to securing the carrier’s interests in international transport, resolving a dispute with a contractor or insurer.
Transport management and cargo space optimization
Professionals operate based on tools that automate daily duties. Systems allowing for order management, cost optimization, and payment monitoring are gaining new functionalities tailored to the needs of transport companies. They are available online, so there is no need to create separate infrastructure and plan implementations. The FireTMS system also enables the assessment of order profitability and the profits that specific vehicles bring. Additional support is provided by online cargo space planners, such as Goodloading. Thanks to them, it is possible to optimally select a vehicle and arrange the goods transported by it – the tool streamlines the work of logisticians.
Only experts who gain specialized experience are able to match solutions to the needs of all participants in the supply chain. Specialists from the Trans.eu Group will be available from November 8 to 10 at stand no. D21 in Hall 3, EXPO XXI Warsaw, ul. Prądzyńskiego 12/14.
