Transport Exchange Group has revamped its mobile app for drivers of vehicles run by members of its Haulage Exchange freight trading platform.
The new, improved app has improved status and workflow functionality to provide more accurate information and access to additional real-time and historical load data while on the move. A “Who’s nearby?” feature also shows all tracked members within 30 miles of a vehicle’s location, enabling drivers to network with other members locally and help decide if they want to quote on a load based on capacity in the area.
Easy navigation and new graphical layouts also make bookings easier to view, clarify and action, so drivers are able to save time using the app while on the road. This will include the ability to receive and work on more than one booking at the same time, and expandable booking entries that can be tapped on to provide full job details.
Lyall Cresswell, MD of Transport Exchange Group, said: “We are committed to continually improving the service we provide to members of Haulage Exchange and Courier Exchange through investment in technology and software innovations. This latest version of our mobile app has been designed and developed in conjunction with these freight operators to ensure they are best placed to maximise and expand their operational capabilities.”
The original mobile app has been downloaded by more than 10,000 drivers since its launch in 2012 and is now widely used to share real-time data regarding available vehicles.
Transport Exchange Group is the leading provider of managed trading services for the road transport industry, operating Haulage Exchange and Courier Exchange where over 6,000 active users traded 700,000 movements during the past 12 months.
