Our New Whitepaper: Introducing Ocean Freight "Logistics as a Service"
As lifelong veterans of the Ocean Freight industry, we at CoLoadX are committed to helping everyone in our sector grow their businesses using innovations in technology. Our customers are Freight Forwarders and NVOCC’s, -- but we know that our unique approach helps the entire logistics chain: from manufacturers all the way to consumers. We know the challenges all of the stakeholders in logistics face, and we’re committed to making logistics faster and easier for our customers as well as their customers.
Unlike some players who market aggressively, making empty promises of lower prices and unrealistic agreements, we think it’s important that our customers truly understand the value we bring, and more specifically, how you can use our solutions to grow your business. That’s why we’re proud to announce that we have just published our first whitepaper -- an in-depth discussion of what these technology innovations mean for you. We’ve made this whitepaper available for free in order to help guide you through the important changes ahead.
The digital revolution has transformed nearly everything we do on a daily basis, both as consumers and as businesses. In our daily life we seldom, if ever, use travel agents or stock brokers anymore. And yet, the logistics business seems stuck in the pre-digital age. Sure, there’s email, but we still rely on paper, phone calls, and even faxes. We operate multiple offices and pay expensive salaries and benefits. The absence of a technological solution specifically for logistics companies is trapping value, draining profits and forcing companies to rely solely on bargaining and discounting to survive.

Now, you might say, “Our business is based on relationships that cannot be replaced by computers.” That’s absolutely true. But this whitepaper will explain why strong business relationships and powerful technology are not mutually exclusive. In fact, technology platforms -- like the one we’ve developed at CoLoadX -- can help you win and serve more profitable business while allowing you to focus on your business’s unique strengths.
We’ve given a name to this phenomenon: Logistics as a Service (LaaS). You may be familiar with the term Software as a Service (Saas) applied to other industries, especially in technology. It refers to services that replace desktop applications and apps with services and data hosted in the cloud. That not only makes for more efficient shipment execution, but also enables the kind of fluid and flexible information exchange and analysis that’s necessary for your company to grow quickly. Think of it as using GPS vs. a pocket compass, and the benefits should be obvious!
Here’s a Sneak Preview of the Specific Topics That we Cover in the Whitepaper
How LaaS used in Ocean Freight can help you:
- Accelerate growth
- Lower Your Fixed Costs
- Efficiently Acquire New Customers
- Track Your Vendor's Performance
- Use Data to Stop Flying Blind
- Save Precious Time
- Go Global -- Without Opening New Offices
We’re offering this free whitepaper because we believe that it’s not enough to blindly adopt technology without knowing how your customers actually benefit from it. We want our customers -- current and future -- to truly understand why technology is important to their survival and future success and how they can use it now instead of waiting for the future, at which point it will be too late to adapt.
Once you’ve read the whitepaper, we’d love to hear your comments, including any questions you have. We hope to produce more industry leading, meaningful publications in the future, and your feedback will help us create content that matters to your business today.
And of course, we’d love to provide you with a quick, live demo of CoLoadX and demonstrate how you can start implementing the ideas in our whitepaper right away. Please email us at info@coloadx.com or call (650) 918-4612 -- we’d love to hear from you.
