Problem
Shippers and carriers in road freight across Europe and the US often rely on fragmented tools, manual processes, and disparate carrier networks, leading to inefficient load planning, high administrative overhead, and frequent empty runs that increase costs and reduce profitability.
Solution
CtrlChain offers a cloud‑based Transportation Management System (TMS) that unifies freight planning, carrier selection, tendering, and shipment tracking in a single platform. The system connects shippers with a vetted network of carriers, automates RFP and tender workflows, and provides real‑time visibility through GPS, telematics, and document digitisation. Data‑driven analytics and KPI dashboards help both parties optimise routes, improve load utilisation, and reduce manual effort. Integrated managed transportation services allow shippers to outsource execution while retaining control via the same digital interface. The platform is free to use, with revenue generated from value‑added services such as premium analytics, integrations, and optional support packages.
Target Audience
Primary users are shippers that need to manage road freight (e.g., manufacturers, food & beverage, pharma, e‑commerce) and carriers seeking consistent load opportunities and digital workflow tools.
