BDI for carriers
As a carrier, you have to deal with changing clients and requests for information increasingly often in this complex world. This may be about the exact status of a transport, but may also be about CO2 reports. Did you know that you can now efficiently share all of this data at once with the BDI?
Sharing data all at once
The BDI allows you to continuously share the same set of current data about your transport with all the customers who need this data. So you no longer need to send different versions of data to different parties. This saves time and prevents unnecessary confusion about a delivery.
Adding customers easily
The BDI’s standardisation also ensures that you can easily collaborate with new customers, as you no longer need to set up time-consuming links for each customer. That’s very useful, especially if you are a smaller carrier and work with larger parties in logistics. They often have stricter requirements for how data is entered into their systems.
You remain in control
You don’t need to be afraid that data may end up in the wrong hands: rather than sending copies of your data to different parties, the data remains with you. You decide who gets access to your data and which conditions apply. This is crucial, especially in a rapidly changing world.
Benefits of the BDI for carriers
Efficient data exchange: one standard for all parties, without separate links for each customer.
Current data: all parties works with the same up-to-date information.
Verification: the data owner decides who has access to data and which conditions apply.
Doing business more easily with new customers: standardisation ensures that you can add new parties without the need for complex links.
Opportunities for new business: it becomes easier to collaborate with major parties in logistics, especially for SME carriers.
